Celebrate Our Missionary Saints
Saints are holy men and women. Their stories - whether they are martyrs, religious women, priests or revolutionary Catholics - were filled with trials and tribulations yet they held steadfast to their faith.
They are our superheroes. Overcoming challenges. Challenging others. Living out the Gospel.

Feature Article: A Twinning Relationship, from Syracuse to Kenya
Child Discovery Centre in Nakura, Kenya, lacks for many things, but love and fellowship are not among them. CDC, located in the Lasallian Lwanga District of Africa, which includes Kenya, Nigeria, Eritrea, Ethiopia, and South Africa, is one of 14 ministries paired with the Lasallian Region of North America as part of a school-to-school twinning program. The program, which falls under the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools (De La Salle Christian Brothers), has a goal of helping to fulfill the material needs of the students and community of CDC and to support them in achieving sustainability. But it is also about so much more.
“It’s really who we are as Lasallians, taking care of those who are in need. Expanding our faith showing our love, and reflecting Jesus’ love for our brothers and sisters in Kenya,” says Marijane Finlay, a campus minister at Christian Brothers Academy in Syracuse, New York. “That’s the most important thing for me, that we are doing as Jesus would have done.”
