LASALLIAN YOUTH AT DISTRICT GATHERING
Nine La Salle Academy students, members of the Lasallian Youth Group, are at La Salle University, Philadelphia, PA, accompanied by two faculty moderators attending the District of Eastern North America (DENA) annual Summer Lasallian Youth Assembly. From July 16-21 the La Salle students are gathering with high school students from eleven other Lasallian high schools from the East Coast, as well as a number of students from a Lasallian school in Rome, Italy. The theme of the Assembly is "If you want peace, work for justice" (Pope Blessed Paul VI) and attendees are engaging in opportunities to deepen their commitment to faith (prayer and faith-sharing), service (working among the poor of Philadelphia), and community (ice-breaker games, meals, recreation).
The La Salle Academy students attending are: Christopher Azar, Michael Azar, Christina Bacon, Christine Dapaah-Afriyie, Gianna Foley, Annabelle Redding, Olivia Rego, Marina Rouse, and Evan Turgeon. Religion teacher, Patricia Ducharme, and Campus Minister, Anthony Russo, are accompanying the Lasallian Youth.

La Salle Academy is a high school rich in history and grounded in the person and teachings of Jesus and the Catholic faith, which are core to the school's life and culture. The De La Salle Middle School provides a strong holistic foundation for students to transition into high school. The high school and middle school provide students of diverse ethnic, economic, and religious backgrounds, a community to foster growth in the tradition of St. John Baptist de La Salle’s ideals of faith, service, and community.
