DeLaSalle will observe the feast of All Saints’ Day with a school Mass on Thursday, November 1, following the first period class, in the Florance Center. School chaplain, Fr. Bruno Nwachukwu, will celebrate the Mass. The Mass will incorporate a traditional Dia de Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) ritual, as Lasallian Ministry has invited students and community members to bring a framed photo of a loved one who has passed away to be included in an ofrenda table. After the Mass, the photos will be moved to the display case on the second floor of the B building for the month of November. Students in Art and Spanish classes will also contribute to the Mass by providing colorful Dia de Los Muertos decorations in the Florance Center.

Attention Students: Give back to your school community by participating in DeLaSalle’s Day of Giving. Helping the school raise money for student scholarships, campus projects, and school programs is an important part of being an Islander. You may donate online or bring your money into school. There will be tables and donation boxes set up inside both entrances on Thursday. If students can raise at least $500, then EVERYONE will get a free dessert on Friday! Bring $1 or bring $10. Every dollar helps and brings us closer to ice cream cookie sandwiches!
