Let us remember that we are in the holy presence of God.
Jesus, in these last few days leading up to Easter, as I recall your passion and death, let me remember that, above all, I am called to feed your sheep. You have given me a model of how to live; may I strive to be all that you created me for, spreading the love of God and the truth of our Catholic faith wherever I am able. You are the way, the truth, and the life. Amen.
Saint John Baptist de La Salle…pray for us.
Live Jesus in our hearts…forever!

In today’s news…
DeLaSalle will bring to a close its observance of the 40-day season of Lent with a school-wide prayer service today. 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, 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.
There are no classes and the school will be closed on Friday, April 19; there are also no classes on Monday, April 22.
Students, you can buy a wristband for the chance to dress out of uniform on Tuesday, April 23. Wristbands will be sold during lunches today and before school on Tuesday for $1. Remember, all out of uniform guidelines apply. DeLaSalle shares a portion of out of uniform wristband sales proceeds with Mwangaza College, our twin school in Kenya.
