This week, Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota celebrates De La Salle Week. Dedicated to the life and work of St. Jean-Baptiste de La Salle, this week is an excellent time to learn more about the history of Saint Mary’s and the university’s Lasallian heritage. The Twin Cities Library has plenty of resources on both for your reading pleasure:

Touching the Hearts of Students: Characteristics of Lasallian schools
This seminal work on La Sallian schools provides an in-depth look at the educational philosophy that binds them together. In addition to a discussion of Jean-Baptiste de La Salle’s vision for education, this book offers ideas on how that vision can be adapted and presented for the modern day.
Brothers to One Another: the De La Salle Brothers behind the Iron Curtain
