National Lasallian Volunteers Camp 2026
Holy Spirit Retreat Haus, Tagaytay City, Cavite
From 19 to 22 March 2026, young Lasallian Volunteers from across the network gathered at the Holy Spirit Retreat Haus for the National Lasallian Volunteers Camp (NLVC) 2026, a four-day formation experience centered on Faith, Service, and Community. Organized in collaboration with the De La Salle Brothers, Inc. (DLSBI), Social Action Unit (SAU) and the Lasallian Mission Services (LMS) office. The camp brought together student volunteers and adult companions in a shared journey of reflection, engagement, and mission.
The camp formally began with opening remarks from Ms. Banny Limbo, who welcomed the participants and set the tone for the days ahead, followed by an orientation on the retreat house and community life by Sr. Angel Libron. The first day continued with community-building activities and the session Lasallian Reflection 11: “All is Connected: The Community of Creation and Universal Fraternity,” facilitated by Mr. Andyo Abusmas. Participants reflected on their role within the wider community of creation and prepared for the succeeding activities through personal journaling.
Day 2 focused on deepening the Lasallian foundations for volunteerism, anchored on the life of St. John Baptist de La Salle. Through a session led by Br. Jeanoel Endaya, FSC, participants explored how the founder’s life continues to shape the Lasallian Mission today. This was followed by Stories of Lasallian Volunteers, where various resource persons including indigenous peoples’ volunteers, field coordinators, and youth missionaries shared their lived experiences in service. These narratives enriched the participants’ understanding of volunteerism as a concrete expression of faith in action.
On Day 3, the young Lasallian Volunteers immersed themselves in the Hope In Me Club Foundation community. They spent the day engaging with children through fun activities and games, creating moments of joy and connection. Some volunteers also supported community efforts by assisting in the clinic. The experience allowed them to better understand the community while building meaningful relationships. The day ended with a processing session where participants reflected on their insights and learnings from the immersion.
The camp concluded with a closing program and fellowship night, celebrating the shared journey and strengthened sense of community. NLVC 2026 served as a meaningful formation experience, reminding participants that volunteerism is rooted in faith and expressed through service and solidarity. Made possible by the dedication of the adult companions, facilitators, and partner offices, the camp sent forth a new generation of young Lasallian Volunteers ready to build communities and keep the Lasallian spirit alive.
