Thanks to all who have turned in paperwork!

Seniors

Congratulations again to our Lasallian Youth seniors, recognized at our Founder's Day mass today - Kevin Huber, Lily Hunter, Trevor Gudde, Joe Volz, Chance Norton, Lyndsay Hudson, and Alyssa Kerfeld. We are truly blessed by your time with the O'Hara community - We give thanks to God for these Lasallians who, wherever they are working, put their whole heart into the option for the poor, attempting, through their educational and evangelizing action, to build a world with greater solidarity and justice!

Final Dire Dawa count

Celtic Lasallians! You have raised $3066 for Dire Dawa! Congratulations, thank you, and well done! At $200 a student, you have raised just a little over 15 tuitions for Besrate Gabriel School. This is well beyond last year's total!

Now. Next goal - even better next year!!!!
