5. First Vows of Saint John Baptist de La Salle
This window reflects the first vows taken by the Brothers. De La Salle and 12 Brothers made the temporary vow of obedience for the first time in Reims, circa 1684, and renewed their vows after a 25-mile journey to the Shrine of Our Lady of Liesse. It is here that they stood before Our Lady of Joy and chose her as the first Superior of the Institute. A similar window in the Basilica of Liesse commemorates this event.
