The De La
Salle Brothers is a religious congregation of men within the
Catholic Church. Founded in 1684 France by a priest and
scholar, John Baptist De La Salle, to live and work in
association (with one another) in order to serve the poor
through education.In doing so, De La Salle founded the first
non-clerical male religious congregation, in the
Catholic Church. It was (and still is) a religious
congregation with a specific apostolate,
education.
