Luke Salm Fsc

Brother Benilde Romancon, FSC Luke Salm Fsc

This is the story of the life of the first Brother to be canonized after St. John Baptist de La Salle, the Founder of the order that Brother Benilde joined at an early age. It is the latest biography (1987) of this wonderful saint, who stands out as an example to all educators, Lasallian or not, of someone for whom faith and zeal were a daily experience. And Luke Salm, another Christian Brother whose scholarship had world-wide renown, was just the right person to comb the sources, collect the stories, organize the material, and write such an accessible biography. It is a joy to read.
