De La Salle Brothers - new WEBSITE
Only released yesterday to much fanfare, this is the website the De La Salle
Brothers describe as an "unprecedented website that details intimately the life
of a brother." With an overt vocations focus, its aims to speak directly to
youth and de-mystify the work and life of the brothers whilst offering insight
and inspiration to those who may consider it as a life choice.
In a bold new
approach for a religious order, it tackles tough questions around vows such as
poverty, celibacy, and living in community, with a frequently asked questions
section and an interactive personality quiz that helps an interested applicant
ascertain their suitability to this life.
There is extensive information on the
two year training process involved and inspiring work experience opportunities
in remote communities across Western Australia and Papua New Guinea.
