Let us remember that we are in the holy presence of God.
Lord, bless those making all kinds of journey today. Give them safe passage and comfort them along their way. Amen
Change me, Lord, if it is Your will, for I would lead a better life. Amen
Saint John Baptist de La Salle…pray for us. Live Jesus in our hearts…forever!

Seniors and their families may now order graduation accessories from Jostens. Students received an order package during a meeting yesterday with a Jostens representative. Students who did not receive an information packet may pick one up from the Guidance office. Orders may be placed on Tuesday, October 13, when the representative returns and will be available during student lunches. Payment plans are available.
While the order form inside the packet students received included blank spaces to fill in cap and gown information, seniors should instead complete this Google form with their name, height, and weight.
Please visit the Jostens website for more information.

WHY IS RESPECT LIFE MONTH IMPORTANT? It is a time to move away from the ways people disrespect life through war, pornography, poverty, abuse of the elderly, neglect of children, and abortion. At DeLaSalle, we focus on daily supplies for babies born to families in need. Every donation you bring in to Lasallian Ministry or to Albers Atrium, whether big or small, will go to the Northside Total Life Care Center. Give a little … for the babies!
