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 Holiness,
We pray today as Simeon did upon meeting the baby Jesus.
My eyes have seen Your salvation, Lord,
as You came to be a light for all nations,
a light for revelation and glory.
May we see Your glory and goodness in each person we meet today.
Amen.
Saint John Baptist de La Salle – Pray for us.
Live, Jesus, in our hearts – Forever!

HAPPY CATHOLIC SCHOOLS / WINTERFEST WEEK!

Thanks to Student Council members for the Hot Chocolate this morning!

FUN FACTS
Archbishop Ireland invited the Brothers of the Christian Schools (Lasallians) to come to Minneapolis and serve as administrators and teachers at DeLaSalle because of their worldwide Lasallian charism of working with students of all socio-economic backgrounds.

In the early years, DeLaSalle primarily taught English to immigrant students and focused on teaching the industrial trades: drafting, plumbing, electrical, etc.

When the current “B” building was opened by the Archdiocese in 1922, DeLaSalle broadened its academic focus, shifting toward a college preparatory focus at that time.

SPIRIT STICK HUNT
The spirit stick scavenger hunt competition continues! Each day, four spirit sticks will be hidden around campus. You can look for the spirit sticks before and after school. Those who find the spirit stick will receive a prize. The class who finds the most spirit sticks by the end of the week will be the spirit stick winner for Catholic Schools/Winterfest Week AND will receive a special dessert next week during lunches!
Here are the four clues for Wednesday’s hunt:
     Clue 1: These items help you stay up to date and might tell you what may get served on your plate.
     Clue 2: I’m looking down upon you all, hopefully I do not fall, you’ll see me when your number is called.
     Clue 3: From this northeast window you may stare, it’s the only one where you will see some stairs (ladder).
     Clue 4: Between the colony and the pit, if you look hard you will find the stick.
If you find a spirit stick, bring it to the Activities Office.
