MASAPOLLO (RETIRED) Fifth Sunday of Lent The prophet Jeremiah, in today’s first reading, is looking beyond the often-messy history of Israel and Judah to a time when the people will no longer be disobedient to God, because God’s law will be “written on their hearts”—that is, their natural inclinations and desires will be oriented toward God’s will. The psalmist gives voice to the sorrow that Israel and Judah experienced in their separation from God “Have mercy on me, O God . A clean heart create for me.” According to Saint Paul, the earthly Jesus, “son though he was,” like his ethnic ancestors, he “learned obedience from what he suffered.” The Gospel reading is part of Jesus’ discourses not long before the Last Supper. Instead of a social encounter with Philip’s friends who had come to see him, Jesus is grappling with his approach- ing death and its ultimate meaning for the world.

  • Dear Parents and Guaarddians
    May 2011 Volume Twenty Number 9 Dear Parents and Guardians, Can you believe that another school year is about to past into history? Due to the school’s pace, things around here seem to pass all too quickly. I wish you and your son a most successful end to this year and a wonderful summer. I look forward to seeing many familiar faces when fall arrives. Special congratulations to our Senior Class who will bring their Lasallian education to a completion on June 5, 2011. The class will gather for two final celebrations at their Baccalaureate Mass on Friday, June 4, 2011 and Commencement Exercises the following morning at 10:00 am. The Class of 2011 has truly been a special group. They are a class that has accomplished much, while building a strong bond among them. It is a pleasure to see how they respect one another and encourage the various God-given talents found in each other. Without question the faculty, staff and administration are going to miss the Class of 2011. I wish each senior only the best as they move on to yet bigger challenges in their lives. I cannot forget the underclassmen that have completed their respective academic years as they have risen to academic challenges and proven their worth. Congratulations to these young men as they prepare for their “promotion” day. I also wish to express my appreciation to our many coaches and moderators on yet another successful season. Often we forget the successes of our students both on and off the fields. This year, La Salle can proudly boast of our success in regional band competitions along with the ever growing successes of our student Lab Manager Program and their Microsoft certifications.
