Students, staff, and families may place prayer requests in prayer boxes in the Lasallian Ministry office, Main Office, and Theology classrooms. Requests may remain anonymous.
DeLaSalle Identifies Additional Student Parking Option
DeLaSalle and 301 on Main have reached an agreement that will allow students to park in the event center’s parking lot during school days. The parking lot is located at 301 NE Main Street. Students must purchase a parking permit in order to park in the lot. Permits cost $110 and are sold in the Business Office.
These supplemental permits are specifically numbered and assigned to the buyer and are for the parking lot at 301 on Main ONLY. These permits are NOT valid in any of the DeLaSalle parking areas during the school day. Students MUST remove their vehicle from the 301 on Main parking lot by 5:00pm each day or risk being towed by building management.
DeLaSalle will provide shuttle bus service each day between the 301 on Main parking lot and the school. The morning shuttle will leave the parking lot at approximately 8:15am. The afternoon shuttle will leave from the front of DeLaSalle at 3:15pm.
Christian Service Opportunity
Touchstone Mental Health, a nonprofit located in South Minneapolis (off Highway 55 and Cedar Ave) that provides a variety of mental health services to over 1,800 adults annually., is looking for volunteers to help conduct a phone satisfaction survey with clients. Clients receive advance notice about the survey and know they will be receiving a phone call. Staff will be available to sign off on student volunteer hours.
We will conduct surveys Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 4:30-7:30pm between January 30-February 2, Feb. 6-9, and Feb. 13-16. Volunteers do not need to participate every evening and can choose which dates will work with their schedules. Contact Kathie Prieve at kprieve@touchsotnemh.org or call 612-843-2201 if interested.
We will provide refreshments and snacks for volunteers.
