Patron of All Teachers Saint John Baptist De La Salle

The Church celebrated the Feast Day of Saint John Baptist De La Salle, Patron of All Teachers, on April 7th. 

The Founder of the Brothers of the Christian Schools was a priest in France and lived from 1651 to 1719.

The Brothers traditionally have celebrated the feast on May 15th.

He was Beatified in 1888 and Canonized in 1900.

Archbishop O'Hara High School has had the dedicated service of members of the Congregation every year of its existence.

Brother Richard Geimer served faithfully from 1969 to 1975 and from 1991 to 2013 when he retired. It was the longest stint for any Christian Brother at the school.

Live Jesus in Our Hearts

Forever
