The document outlines the three core Lasallian values: spirit of faith, zeal for service, and communion in mission. The spirit of faith involves discovering God's presence and acting in accordance with God's will. Zeal for service expresses faith through compassionate service to others, especially the poor. Communion in mission emphasizes collaboration and solidarity to accomplish the shared goal of reconciling all people with God and each other. These core values guide the Management and Organization Department at De La Salle University in bridging faith and business practice.
