Let us remember that we are in the holy presence of God.
As we remember the anniversary today of St. John Baptist de La Salle’s death, we pray…
St. La Salle, through your intercession, help us grow in virtue every day. As we follow your example, may you lead us in the truth. Amen
Saint John Baptist de La Salle…pray for us.
Live Jesus in our hearts…forever!

Good luck to the 17 DeLaSalle Speech team members who will compete today at sections at Eastview High School. Many of the students who are competing have earned first and second place as well as honorable mention in their categories at tournaments throughout the season. The Islanders earned 2nd place as a team at the conference tournament last month, the first team award in at least five years. Go Islanders!
They’ve put in hours and hours of hard work – and today the DeLaSalle Robotics team will participate in the state robotics competition at the University of Minnesota with the robot they’ve been building since January. Good luck to the Islanders as they square off against robotics teams from other schools.
