The La Salle Foundation Rome Fund 

The La Salle International Foundation is honored to announce the creation of the La Salle Foundation Rome Fund in Honor of Craig Franz, FSC, PhD, as a unique way that Lasallians and friends can join in supporting the needs and work of the international Lasallian network through the La Salle Foundation in Rome.  

For over a decade, the La Salle Foundation in Rome has been the hub for prioritizing, planning for and supporting Lasallian ministries worldwide, especially in places with the greatest need for our care and support. There are more than 1,100 Lasallian ministries in 79 countries around the world.  

Brother Craig Franz, FSC, former executive director of the La Salle International Foundation and leader of our international Lasallian philanthropy at the Rome Office for Solidarity and with the La Salle Foundation in Rome, has had a profound impact on our success in educating and caring for young people, especially at the margins and peripheries,  

The fund is available to the Executive Director of the La Salle Foundation in Rome to assist in meeting high-priority needs among our Lasallian ministries. Friends, Brothers and all Lasallians are invited to join Dr. Mary Catherine Fox, AFSC, PhD, founder of the fund, in supporting the fund and its growth. “Together and by Association,” we can offer exceptional support to those in need within our Lasallian network.  

Additional information is available from Brother James Martino, FSC, jmartino@lasalleinternational.org.
