The Plenary Assembly

Celebrating Unity and Transformation: The Lasallian Plenary Assembly

The Lasallian Plenary Assembly, a fraternal encounter grounded in a synodal perspective, will take place from July 7 to July 14, gathering Brothers of the Christian Schools and Lasallian Partners. This Assembly is a platform for discerning God’s call, aiming to journey together and make possible the Pathways of Transformation, with a vision of being “one Lasallian Family, with diverse vocations; leaven for a more fraternal world.”

Unlike the General Chapter and the International Assembly of the Lasallian Educational Mission (AIMEL), the Plenary Assembly focuses on consensus-building through participative dynamics, advancing the Institute’s priorities without being a decision-making or recommendatory body.

Objectives of the Assembly

1. Review and Strengthen: Assess progress since the 46th General Chapter and the III AIMEL, identifying areas for focus and change.

2. Enrich Governance: Deepen understanding of the Institute’s new governance model, enhancing the functions of Councils, Commissions, and Offices.

3. Revive the Leavening Movement: Celebrate the international character of the Lasallian Family by sharing best practices from various Districts.

4. Foster Unity: Promote a spiritual, fraternal, and synodal experience to grow as ‘One La Salle.’

By the end of the Assembly, participants aim to identify key areas for further development, devise strategies to enhance the governance model, and sustain the momentum of the Leavening movement across the Lasallian world.
