It is a center of our expression of our deep faith where community members of DLSZ can have a venue to translate their zealous service towards our brothers and sisters, especially the poor and marginalized.
- a place of worship that inspires, encourages and helps establish in each Lasallian a life-lasting relationship with Jesus, our Lord.
