Tuesday November 8, 2016 – Election Day
Let us remember that we are in the holy presence of God.
We pray for discernment so that we may choose leaders who hear your Word, live your love, and keep in the ways of your truth as they follow in the steps of Jesus and his Apostles and guide us to your Kingdom of justice and peace. Amen
Saint John Baptist de La Salle…pray for us.
Live Jesus in our hearts…forever!

Around Christmas, for the past 24 years, DeLaSalle has spiritually adopted several families through Sponsor a Family Minnesota and the Aliveness Project. These families have benefited greatly from our generous spirit. Last year the students and staff brought in around $4,000. Several teachers have graciously agreed to be the money collection point for each grade level. Donate money in 9th and 10th grade Theology Classes or 11th and 12th grade English Classes. Money collection is daily and begins tomorrow and runs through Thursday, December 1. Thank you in advance for your generosity.

In severe cases, the student may also lose the privilege of participating in after-school activities.
