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.

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!!
