6. Saint John Baptist de La Salle Teaching
The window of De La Salle teaching at Saint Yon is based on the painting by Cesare Mariani created for the Saint’s beatification in February 1888. It was presented to Pope Leo XIII and now hangs in the Vatican. Twelve years later, the Pope canonized De La Salle, and he was proclaimed Patron Saint of Teachers on May 15, 1950. In 1705, De La Salle moved the motherhouse to Saint Yon. In the window, he can be seen teaching. The sign on the wall says: “You must apply yourself in school to study your lessons.”
