La Salle’s Mission and Heritage Week is an opportunity for our diverse community of educators and learners to reflect on and celebrate how the University’s mission and core values are shared by all who learn, work, live, and play in our historic Belfield campus community. Marking the 160th year of its charter from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, La Salle continues to draw inspiration and guidance from the living spirit and vision of Saint John Baptist de La Salle, patron saint of educators and founder of the Brothers of the Christian Schools.
