In 1932, the Brothers moved to Mont La Salle and built the first of the existing buildings.  The history of Mont La Salle since then details the beginnings of many Brothers’ vocation and the beginnings of the former Christian Brothers Winery.  Still primarily the home for many Brothers, today the buildings and surrounding groves and gardens host the following activities:

De La Salle Institute:  The DLSI offices house the operational head quarters of the Brothers and the Lasallian schools and other ministries of the San Francisco District.  

The Christian Brothers Retreat and Conference Center:  Catering to the needs of the groups from within the District and from the outside, the Retreat and Conference Center provides overnight accommodations, indoor and outdoor meeting and gathering spaces, chapel spaces for prayer and concerts, as well as meals and dining.

The San Francisco District Archives:  Records of over 135 years of  the Brothers’ works on the West Coast are housed for research and future generations.

Christian Brothers Ranch:   In order to learn responsibility and support their education, over 20 children participate in a 4-H style program.

The Brothers’ Communities:  Three communities of Brothers make Mont La Salle their home:  the Provincialate Community, the USA/Toronto Novitiate Community, and the Holy Family Community of retired Brothers. 

The Cemetery:  Nestled in the embrace of the forest hillside, the cemetery continues as the final resting place of deceased Brothers.
