Brother William, Mary Fox present at Lasallian Institute

Brother President William Mann and Mary Catherine Fox, Ph.D., professor of interdisciplinary studies were invited to present the Capstone experience of the Lasallian Leadership Institute (LLI) for the United States Toronto Region of the Brothers of the Christian Schools. The Capstone weekend culminates three years of Lasallian study for each cohort.

Over the last month, Brother William and Dr. Fox presented to the Midwest District LLI cohort March 12-14 in Illinois, the Long Island -New England, New York and Baltimore District cohort March 19-21 in Pennsylvania, and the California, New Orleans-Santa Fe District cohort March 26-28 in California.

The focus of Brother William’s and Dr. Fox’s joint presentation utilized metaphor as a tool for both reflecting upon our lived reality and creating new structures for our collective future — our Lasallian home — “together and by association.”

Nearly 200 participants attended the Capstone weekend experiences. Attendees represented diverse Lasallian ministries including university, middle and secondary schools and social service agencies. Brother Visitors from the districts, councilors from the international Institute and secretaries of international Lasallian commissions joined district cohorts in the Capstone weekend experience.
