Mission Impact 2025
Forming Missionary Disciples:
Instituto Fe y Vida
Romeoville, Illinois | www.feyvida.org
Instituto Fe y Vida is a Lasallian ministry dedicated to forming missionary
disciples—young people, families, and pastoral leaders. Rooted in the
charism of St. John Baptist de La Salle, Fe y Vida understands formation not
simply as instruction or lessons, but as experiences and accompaniment:
walking alongside our people as they discover faith, purpose, and belonging.
Over the past three decades, Fe y Vida has formed more than 13,000 leaders
through programs that integrate faith, culture, and service. Ministries
include leadership formation for youth and young adults in parishes and
dioceses, family formation programs such as Thriving Catholic Parishes
and Amor y Vida, and a biblical ministry that publishes the Biblia Católica
para Jóvenes in Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian. Through these initiatives,
Instituto Fe y Vida serves Latino communities across the United States,
Latin America, and Germany.
In preparation for the Jubilee Year 2025, Fe y Vida worked closely with
Br. Juan Manuel Hernández Bernal, FSC, and the Lasallian Brothers at the
Casa Generalizia in Rome, organizing four impactful Jubilee experiences for
teens, young adults, catechists, and migrant families. Each Jubilee pilgrimage
began with online formation sessions that included one on St. John Baptist
de La Salle and the Lasallian charism, and culminated in sacred journeys
to Rome and Assisi, where the Christian Brothers welcomed us as family.
The Migrant Jubilee, which
included two Christian Brothers
as pilgrims, concluded with
a private Papal Audience—an
unforgettable encounter of
faith, grace, and hope.
