2024 Buttimer Institute of Lasallian Studies
Welcome to the registration system for the 2024 Buttimer Institute of Lasallian Studies! We look forward to hosting you and creating community at Manhattan College in the Riverdale neighborhood of the Bronx in New York City.
Program
The Buttimer Institute begins Sunday, June 23 and concludes the evening of Friday, July 5.
The Buttimer Institute is a learning and spiritual community in which participants grow and support one another not only in their Buttimer groups, but also in the larger Buttimer community.
This intensive Lasallian education and formation program studies the life, work and spirituality of Saint John Baptist de La Salle and the origins of the Lasallian educational mission. The Buttimer Institute is designed to inspire participants to delve more thoroughly into the Lasallian founding story and discover the basis of their vocation as educators. The program also seeks to deepen the participants’ association for the Lasallian mission and provide skills to become catalysts in their own ministries.
The Buttimer Institute is a three-year program. Courses are conducted for three consecutive summers, in two-week durations. Most days are filled with classes, followed by time for reading and study. Woven into the program is significant time for prayer and reflection, as well as opportunities for socializing and creating community.

Manhattan College COVID-19 Protocols
The health and safety of the Manhattan College community and campus visitors continues to be high priority. Although not required or verified, it is recommended that all campus visitors are fully up to date with COVID-19 vaccinations. If an overnight participant finds themselves not feeling well during their time at Manhattan College, they are required to take a COVID-19 test. Should an overnight participant test positive while on campus, please note that the college will not provide on-campus isolation. A five day period of off-campus isolation for COVID-positive individuals continues to be required by the Centers for Disease Control and New York State guidelines, with costs and arrangements assumed by the overnight guest.
