“ Live by the spirit of faith.”
~ St. John Baptist de La Salle
The‘ Spirit of SJI’ sculpture( at Brother Solomon Leclercq Block). This 1998 sculpture by Brother Joseph McNally is an artistic interpretation of the masthead of the ship – La Julie – that brought the first six La Salle Brothers to Singapore in 1852. The figure represents a Brother in his habit. Located at the roundabout in the carpark, the statue greets every visitor with open hands, welcoming everyone to experience the Lasallian mission for themselves. The robe transitions naturally into a spiralling wave, reminding us of the immense sea of potential each student has and the role the Brothers play in nurturing that potential.
