A Life's Work Dedicated to the Lasallian Mission

My connection with the Christian Brothers goes back to the early 60s. In 1965 I was a novice in the order and remained a Christian Brother for 19 years. I knew I wanted to be in religious life, and found myself drawn to the Brothers. Because I wanted to teach, the Christian Brothers were a natural fit. Most important though, was the mission–providing young people with a student-centered, values-based, education. I have lived the Christian Brothers’ mission my entire life. The Brothers are important to me personally, as friends, as mentors, and as guides. The Brothers are my family.
