Let us remember that we are in the holy presence of God.
O Blessed Trinity, we thank you for having graced the Church with
Saint Pope John Paul II and for allowing the tenderness of your fatherly care,
the glory of the Cross of Christ and the splendor of the Spirit of love to shine through him.
He has shown us that holiness is the necessary measure of ordinary
Christian life and is the way of achieving eternal communion with you.
Grant us, by his intercession, and according to your will, the graces we implore, through Christ our Lord. Amen
Saint John Baptist de La Salle…pray for us.
Live Jesus in our hearts…forever!

In today’s news…
Our 21st annual Diversity Week is October 22-26. This week we will be celebrating and honoring the rich diversity that is present at DeLaSalle High School and in the world. It is our hope that the events and programs that are planned for the week will provide a springboard into a yearlong and life long appreciation of the beauty that exists in every aspect of diversity.
A special thank you goes out to Ms. Kristin Lundstrum, Liam Brubaker ’19 and many volunteers from our LEAP (Lasallians for Equity and Peace) club who dedicated their time and talents to preparing the school for diversity week. Please honor them by showing the greatest respect for the signs and posters throughout the school.
LEAP (Lasallians for Equity and Peace) is sponsoring a live theatre night for all interested students and staff on Thursday, October 25 at MCTC. We will take a bus/van from DLS at 6:15 p.m. for a 7:00 show and return around 9:00. Free of charge. Please sign up using the link below.
- 12 Angry Jurors Thursday, October 25 – 6:15-9:00 p.m.
On a hot summer day after a long trial, 12 jurors must decide whether to convict a man for murdering his father. One juror holds out on a conviction and a unanimous verdict is the only one that convicts.
During the month of November, Christians around the world remember their loved ones who have died. For our All Saints Day liturgy, we are putting together an ofrenda table, a traditional Day of the Dead ritual, and invite all students, teachers, and staff to bring in a framed picture of a loved one who has passed away. After the liturgy, we will move the pictures to the 2nd floor trophy case in B building so we can remember our loved ones throughout November.
We invite you to bring a framed picture of your loved one with a post-it note on the back with your name and your loved one’s name to Mr. Rogers in the Learning Center (D-105) so we can remember our loved ones who have died. We prefer that your framed photo be wallet sized, 4×6, or 5×7.

October is National Respect Life Month, a time to recognize the sacredness of all life from conception to natural death. Lasallian Ministry will host both a Baby Item and Sock Drive during the entire month. In addition to annual baby item drive for the Life Care Center, which will again take place in Albers Atrium beginning October 1, we are also having a sock drive for St. Stephen’s Shelter. Students may bring new adult socks into their first hour class and the class with the most socks collected will earn a free breakfast in November.
Learn about other ways in which Islanders can participate in Respect Life Month.
