226 VI. EIGHT TESTIMONIES FROM LASALLIANS struggled with that call everyday, but we could not ignore the charism that burned in our hearts. On a daily basis, we recommitted ourselves to our developing vocations. Our vocations took on a new character in December of 2000 when we celebrated our wedding in the company of many family and friends including many Lasallians. Our marriage is a sacrament to each other and to our growing family. We experience God’s presence everyday in our union with each other and our son. The call to be married is a gift for which we are very grateful. However, we also want to point out that our marriage is also a sacrament to the world, a sign of God’s presence and God’s love to others. We are fully committed to both aspects of our marriage, as a sacrament to each other and as a sacrament to the world. We witnessed to that commitment at our wedding. In addition to a wedding vow, we also expressed a vow of discipleship: • Most Holy Trinity, • We acknowledge before You and Your People • Our responsibilities as Christians, • And we freely choose to live the values of the Gospel • In our home, in our relationships to others, • And in our service to those in need. • We see our particular gifts to be faith, vision and compassion. • Together and by association as Christians, • And in the spirit of John Baptist de la Salle, • We especially wish to devote our energies and resources • To the educational service of the poor • And to the advancement of lay leadership and the role of women within the Church.
VI. EIGHT TESTIMONIES FROM LASALLIANS 227 We struggle with our call to marriage everyday, but we cannot ignore the charism that burns in our hearts. On a daily basis, we recommit ourselves to our developing vocations, as a sacrament to each other and a sacrament to the world. The Form of Our Association Today. In the Fall of 2000, shortly before we married, we moved to Chicago, IL. Karin studied theology at Catholic Theological Union and Mike began working as a teacher and administrator at San Miguel Middle School of Chicago, founded in 1995. Today, Karin serves on the Leadership Team of the Christian Brothers of the Midwest District as the Director of Shared Mission and Formation. Mike continues to work at San Miguel School Back of the Yards Campus as Director of Community Outreach and Adult Education. After living in an apartment for two years, negotiating the first stages of our marriage, we chose to move into the Lasallian Community associated with San Miguel School in the Spring of 2002. In May 2003, our first son, Jack Edward, was born and welcomed into our community. Currently, the three of us live with 9 other Lasallians: Brother Edwin Dupré, FSC (72 years old), 3 Lasallian Volunteers, and 5 other Lasallians (all former Lasallian Volunteers between the ages of 26 and 45 years old). We are men and women; we are married and single; we are lay and consecrated religious; we are old and young and in between; we are teachers and administrators and cooks and sisters and brothers and mothers and fathers. The community house is located in a low-income neighborhood across the street from San Miguel School Back of the Yards. Among our students and in the neighborhood, our community is known as “the teachers’ house.” While living in community under one roof is not part of every Lasallian vocation, nor of most marriages, it is for us the most authentic response we can give today to God’s presence in our lives and the Lasallian charism that burns in our hearts.
