    INSTITUTIONAL PROFILE 1.1 MISSION-VISION STATEMENT OF THE LASALLIAN FAMILY IN THE PHILIPPINES Preamble Deeply moved, as St. John Baptiste de la Salle was, by the plight of the poor and youth at risk, we, the members of the Lasallian schools in the Philippines, commit ourselves to the La Sallian Mission of providing a human and Christian education to the young, especially in schools, with the service of the poor as priority, in order to evangelize and catechize, to promote peace and justice, accomplishing these together as shared mission. We draw strength from the many Lasallians committed to incarnating our charism in our country today to serve the needs of the Filipino youth, especially those at risk. Declaration Inflamed by the Holy Spirit, God’s own fire, we declare our commitment to the following: We shall work together as a national network of Lasalllian schools in the Philippines for the efficient and effective implementation of the Lasallian Mission, following the directives of the De La Salle Brothers and the Philippine Lasallian Family as set by the General Chapter, the District Chapter and the Philippine Lasallian Family Convocation; We shall ensure the integrity of the Lasallian Mission by setting directions and standards applicable to the Philippine Lasallian schools and by monitoring their implementation; We shall promote the Lasallian Mission by fostering synergy, collaboration and sharing among the Lasallian schools; and We shall uphold the Lasallian values of faith, zeal in service and communion in mission. Prayer In all these, we, together and by association, dedicate our life and work to God, who alone guarantees the fulfillment of our Lasallian dream.
