Let us remember…that we are in the holy presence of God.
+ In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.
Lord of All Goodness,
Thank you for the gift of this day.
Help me walk in Your truth and not by my worldly feelings.
Help me to embrace anything that comes my way as an opportunity to see You at work
and as an opportunity to share Your grace with others.
Amen.
Saint John Baptist de La Salle – Pray for us.
Live, Jesus, in our hearts – Forever!

HAPPY CATHOLIC SCHOOLS / WINTERFEST WEEK!FUN FACTS DeLaSalle was opened by the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis in 1900, in response to the emerging need to educate children of European families emigrating to Minneapolis in large numbers in the late-1800s. After buying the land, the Archdiocese built the original DeLaSalle on the corner of West Island Avenue and Grove Street –where Founder’s Park currently is located. SPIRIT STICK HUNT |

| HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR! Happy Chinese New Year! Today, more than one billion people worldwide are celebrating a new beginning: the first day of the new Lunar Calendar. Chinese New Year, also commonly known as Lunar New Year, originated in 14th century BC Shang (pronounced Shong) Dynasty in China. The holiday has since spread across all of Asia, though each country has its own names, customs, and traditions associated with the celebration. Every Lunar Year is associated with one of twelve animals from the Chinese Zodiac. 2022 is the Year of the Tiger. Similar to Western astrology, Chinese tradition believes that an individual’s personality is strongly influenced by their birth year’s zodiac sign. The tiger symbolizes strength, courage, leadership, and adventure and is also believed to expel all evil. Thanks to our Asian Student Association for the candy treats before school today! Chinese New Year Fun Facts – Wearing red around the new year is believed to bring the wearer good luck and prosperity in the new year. – The new year is viewed as a new beginning, a blank slate. Around this time, people clean out their homes, get new haircuts, buy new clothes, and forgive old grievances. – Chinese New Year in Asia is the equivalent of Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the Gregorian calendar New Year combined. Non-essential businesses close, everyone comes home for a big family dinner, and gifts in the form of red envelopes full of money are exchanged. – Some people do not celebrate their true birth days. Instead, they count their years/age by lunar new years. Happy Chinese New Year! |
