University Council for Lasallian Formation, Mission formed

Brother Louis DeThomasis has formed the University Council for Lasallian Formation and Mission. The purpose of the council is to empower all at the university to foster and to embrace our Lasallian charism.

This council has an essential and important role — the development, guidance and nurturing of our Lasallian charism for the future of Saint Mary’s University. A primary focus of this council, moderated by Brother Lawrence Humphrey, FSC, Lasallian Scholar-in-Residence, is to enable our university community to embrace all of our personnel and students in an open and caring manner that demonstrates the true nature of Saint John Baptist de La Salle and his Brothers in their educational, spiritual and social missions.

Their role — as leaders in the SMU community — is to inspire, animate, encourage and nurture our Lasallian identity. It will be the goal of this council to foster inclusivity, i.e., to include and invite all to join in and embrace our Lasallian charism no matter where they are on their own personal faith journey. The members of the council will have the ability to determine both how the council will operate and its future composition.

The group includes:

Moderator: Brother Lawrence Humphrey, FSC

College Division: Dr. Mary Catherine Fox (coordinator), Dr. Dorothy Diehl, Tim Gossen, Dr. Stephen Pattee, Valerie Robeson, Ann Smith, Sister Judith Schaefer.

SGPP Division: Dr. Roxanne Eubank (coordinator), Dr. Gerald Ellis, Sarah Fisher, Valerie Fitzgerald, Dr. Greg Sobolewski, Mary Thole and Dr. Mary Louise Wise.
