Brothers of Christian Instruction Uganda and South Sudan is a province of FIC (Frères de l'Instruction Chrétienne) that was founded in France by Jean-Marie de La Mennais and Gabriel Deshayes in 1819 in Ploërmel, Brittany. Responding to the profound educational needs in the wake of the French Revolution, these visionary priests established a congregation dedicated to the Christian education of youth, especially the most disadvantaged. Rooted in the belief that education is the most powerful tool for human development and social transformation, the congregation grew rapidly, establishing schools throughout France and eventually expanding globally.
The La Mennais Brothers were founded in 1819 by Jean-Marie de La Mennais and Gabriel Deshayes in Ploërmel, Brittany, France. In response to the educational needs following the French Revolution, these visionary priests established a congregation dedicated to the Christian education of youth, especially the most disadvantaged.
Their mission was rooted in the belief that education is the most powerful tool for human development and social transformation. The congregation grew rapidly, establishing schools throughout France and eventually expanding across the globe.
By the mid-19th century, the Brothers had established a strong presence in Europe and began missions in Africa, North America, and Oceania. Their educational approach combined academic excellence with spiritual formation, creating well-rounded individuals prepared to contribute positively to society.
Today, our mission continues to evolve. We strive to respond to new challenges—educational gaps, poverty, and the spiritual needs of young people—guided always by the Gospel and the charism of our founders.
