Let us remember that we are in the holy presence of God.
Lord, thank You for Your greatness. Thank You that when I am weak, You are strong. Give me a measure of Your strength so that I might not give into discouragement, deception, and doubt! Help me honor You in all my ways. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Saint John Baptist de La Salle…pray for us.
Live Jesus in our hearts…forever!

DeLaSalle will bring to a close its observance of the 40-day season of Lent with a school-wide prayer service on Thursday. The prayer service, which occurs on Holy Thursday, also marks the beginning of the Easter Triduum, the three holiest days for Catholics, who acknowledge the celebration of the first Eucharist, Christ’s death on the Cross on Good Friday, and the vigil that leads to His Resurrection on Easter Sunday.
The Library will be closed during the school day Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, because ninth grade English classes will be working on a project. This means that students who are in class, study hall, or lunch may not get a pass to the library. The library will reopen for its normal after school hours.
