LASALLIAN STUDENTS OF THE MONTH

Every month, Lasallian Youth recognizes a student as the Lasallian Student of the Month.   They are recognized for consistently modeling the five Lasallian core principles every day at O'Hara: 

Living faith in the presence of God

Showing respect for all persons

Working for inclusive community

Striving for a quality education

Manifesting concern for the poor and social justice

Those recognized thus far this year:

Chelsea Rose, September

Alex Stockard, October

JeVon Lyle, November

Congratulations!

2009 Summer Gathering

This year our Midwest Lasallian Youth Summer Gathering will be in Memphis, with our home base at Christian Brothers University.  Dates are Sunday, July 26 through Friday, July 31.  Start thinking about your possible participation, including cost ($275) - more information will be coming soon!  Permission forms will be available outside my room (410) by December 5.

Meeting reminder

Greetings!

Sorry that I've neglected updates here.  This will be kept up on a more regular basis!

Lasallian Youth had a good time haunting at Paradise Park on Halloween night and the night of November 1.  We helped raise money for the Lee's Summit parishes, and made 11 tickets to the Haunted Maze available to Catholic school students who could not otherwise afford to go.  Well done to all who helped out!

We will meet on Thursday to work on mission collections and a lock in for peace during Advent.  See you at 7:40!

September 18 meeting

Don't forget to bring your ideas for an October activity to the Thursday meeting!  We have a suggestion of a haunted house for little kids!

Also, we need to agree on a date for the bowling and pizza night so we can get our new posters up!

Meeting starts with prayer.

See you Thursday - bring a friend!

LY meeting for the week of September 1

REMEMBER! We will not have a Thursday meeting on September 5 - we will instead work at the Catholic Worker House on Tuesday the 2nd. Please be ready to go by 3:25 so we can leave on time!

Our schedule includes a heavy dose of service (yea!), community discussion, prayer, and Lasallian learning.
