Speaker adds Lasallian context to college

Brother Charles Kitson and Brother William

All faculty, staff, and students were invited to attend the College Convocation and Mass of the Holy Spirit on September 1. These events marked the official opening of the academic year at the undergraduate College.

Remarks at the convocation were especially aimed at freshmen. Brother Charles Kitson, FSC, engaged students with an informative presentation about “GOOGLING GOD: A Lasallian Search.” Brother Charles used the Gospel challenge to follow Christ by getting out of our “boats” — within a Lasallian context.

Brother Charles serves as the De La Salle Christian Brothers' Secretary for the Lasallian Family and Association. This position finds him traveling around the Lasallian world fostering and animating lay partners to greater participation in the charism of Saint John Baptist De La Salle. He helps coordinate the many Lasallian Volunteer movements around the world as well as mentor the newly formed group known as “Young Lasallians.”
