ABSTRACT
The remarks that follow have been billed as a keynote address for a workshop that is to deal with the characteristics of Lasallian schools. In view of the mix of those participating, it has been suggested that this first presentation give some attention to the role of the laity in the Church and in Catholic education. In an attempt to combine the two themes, I should like first to make some remarks about the Lasallian school and then broaden the topic to speak of the role of lay persons in the Church in general and in Catholic education in particular.
KEYWORDS
Catholic Education; Lasallian
