The link below should take you to view, a virtual copy of a photobook which illustrates the 100 years celebrations. It does take a while to load though so I am not quite sure if it will work. Let me know via the blog if you want to view it and can't.

Lasallian Centenary Celebrations
In May 2011, St Helens celebrates 100 years of the De La Salle Brothers' presence in the town. The Brothers devote their life to living in faith, service and community whilst delivering the teachings of St John Baptist De La Salle, whose mission is "to provide a human, Christian education to the Young, especially the poor." People associated with this mission, in any form, are known as Lasallians and this very special Lasallian family is active all over the world.

Brother Alvaro comes to St Helens!
Brother Alvaro speaks to the young people during night prayer at the camp. He spoke of living within the values of faith, service and community and always remembering that we are a large family which extends right around the world. He urged the young people to look actively for ways in which they can help others and keep the lasallian spirit alive.
Lasallian Camp
Immediately following our Founders day mass, a team of people began setting up tents in the School grounds in order to begin celebrations of a different kind! De La Salle School, St Helens welcomed visitors from Bournemouth, Portsmouth, Burnley and liverpool to camp or visit for the day and take part in activities such as Lasallian olympics, arts and crafts, a community mass and much singing and dancing. We had a brilliant time and that is completely down to the Young people and their willingness to get involved and make new friends. We are now so blessed to be able to say that we have widened our Lasallian family in this country even further and have people we can call friends in four other schools now! Thankyou so much for everyone who made this weekend so special!!

Installation Private View Monday 23rd May
The private view was well attended by parents, teachers, past pupils, Governors and Brothers. All were amazed by the transformation of the English corridor into a homage to the 100 years celebrations of the DLS Brothers being in St Helens. A calm but excited atmosphere came from the reflective nature of the installation and many memories were stirred, aswell as laughter from the unusual portraits of our school community. Thankyou to everyone who came to see the efforts of our Young people in remembering the important work that the Brothers have done and are still doing.
