The Rise and Fall of Catholic Teaching Brothers | St. John Baptist de La Salle (15 May)

About this sermon

On the Feast of St. John Baptist de La Salle, we reflect on the incredible legacy of the Christian Brothers and the golden age of Catholic education. From forming saints and faithful Catholic men to educating legendary figures like Vince Lombardi and Joe Torre, these teaching brothers sacrificed everything for souls. This powerful Catholic sermon explores: ✝️ The rise of the Christian Brothers ✝️ The collapse of religious vocations after Vatican II ✝️ The importance of Catholic education ✝️ Why we must return to the spirit of the founders ✝️ The mission of saving souls through authentic Catholic formation St. John Baptist de La Salle founded the Brothers of the Christian Schools in 17th century France, creating one of the most influential Catholic educational movements in history. At their peak, over 16,000 Christian Brothers taught more than 300,000 students worldwide. Today, Catholic schools and religious vocations face a crisis. What happened? And how can Catholics recover the spirit, discipline, holiness, and dedication that once formed generations of faithful men and women? Please pray for vocations, Catholic teachers, priests, brothers, sisters, and for the restoration of authentic Catholic education. 🙏 “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” 00:00 — Support Pro-Life Causes Through Real Estate for Life 00:23 — Scripture Reflection on Wealth and Treasure 00:40 — Feast of St. John Baptist de La Salle 01:04 — The Crisis Facing Young Boys in France 01:34 — Founding the Christian Brothers 01:59 — 16,000 Brothers Teaching Worldwide 02:31 — The Golden Age of Catholic Schools 03:11 — Vatican II and the Collapse of Vocations 04:10 — The Great Legacy of Catholic Teaching Brothers 05:08 — The Spirituality Behind Catholic Education 05:50 — “Give Me the Boy and I’ll Give You the Man” 06:05 — Why Catholic Education Is Dying Today 06:46 — The Loss of Teaching Brothers 07:00 — Memories of Catholic Schools in Brooklyn 07:42 — Discipline, Excellence, and Coaching 07:57 — Vince Lombardi and Catholic Formation 08:42 — Joe Torre and Catholic Education 09:23 — Teaching Catechism and Saving Souls 10:08 — The Worldwide Influence of De La Salle 10:42 — Honoring Religious Brothers and Sisters 11:03 — The Hundredfold Promise of Christ 11:44 — “God Gave Me the Catholic Church” 12:07 — Where Your Treasure Is 12:29 — Pray for Vocations and the Rosary For more please visit https://www.themarianfranciscans.org/ Please sign up at this link https://lifecrusade.org/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Support Catholic Businesses here - https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ Sensus Fidelium Press - https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ Sensus Fidelium Apps - https://sensusfidelium.tv/ Support Sensus Fidelium - https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 🙏🏻PLEASE HELP OUR CHANNEL GROW 🙏🏻 ▶️ 1.
