Lasallian Youth

A COMMUNITY OF BELIEVERS GATHERED IN FAITH TO SERVE OUR SCHOOL, COMMUNITY & CHURCH

At Saint Raphael Academy, all of our students are members of Lasallian Youth because of our school’s core values of faith, service and community. Through the Lasallian Youth Program, students may choose to participate more directly in various aspects of ministry. Members of Saint Raphael Academy Lasallian Youth often participate in the annual Lasallian Youth Summer Assembly.
