Lasallian Mission is an expression of God’s loving concern, an apostolic ministry of the Catholic Church that provides human and Christian education, particularly towards the well-being of the young and the poor in ministries conducted as places of salvation by staff and professionals acting together in and by association for the sake of the mission, shaping individuals to care for the less fortunate and contribute to societal transformation/leavening.

Linkages form a relationship that connects all Lasallians within and outside the Institution, binding them to a commitment to the Lasallian mission and vocation. This commitment is pursued through associations, partnerships, and networking guided by the three Lasallian core values of Spirit of Faith, Zeal for Service, Communion in Mission, and the DLSMHSI value of Reverence for Life.
