Let us remember that we are in the holy presence of God.
Oh God, you reign over all nations and all peoples. All the earth reflects your beauty and bounty. Each culture and people shows us your glory. May we learn about you through learning about each other. Amen
Saint John Baptist de La Salle…pray for us. Live Jesus in our hearts…forever!

Remember, that all students, staff, and families may place prayers in prayer boxes located around campus (in the Main Office, Lasallian Ministry, and staff lounge). These prayers may be anonymous and may be offered for yourself or for the needs and joys you have seen in others.
On Monday at 8:30am, De Parents in Prayer will meet in the Florance Center.
