Let us remember that we are in the holy presence of God.

May God be gracious to us and bless us.
May the face of God shine upon us.
May God’s ways be known on earth,
God’s salvation among all nations.
May all the peoples bless You, O God.
May all the peoples give You praise.
May we remember that we are Your vehicles and vessels
and that we represent You in our world.
In the name of the Triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.

Saint John Baptist de La Salle…pray for us.

Live Jesus in our hearts…forever!

DeLaSalle invites students enrolled in the Class of 2022 and their parents to join us for a Welcome Party on Saturday, May 12. Students will dance to a DJ, participate in Mardi Gras games and group activities where they will meet new kids, or just enjoy the atmosphere of your new school. Admission is free – and we’ll have pizza and pop for everybody. By the end of the night, you’ll have a lot of new friends! Parents, we don’t want you to miss out on the fun either. While your child is having fun meeting his or her new classmates, you can meet other parents during the “Meet and Greet with Treats” for parents of the Class of 2022. Current parents and some graduating seniors will serve as hosts and share good conversation about DeLaSalle from a parent’s or student’s view. This event is hosted by the DeLaSalle Parent Association and has been extremely valuable for new parents to DeLaSalle. Please watch your email inbox for a party invitation and more details.
