De La Salle Week schedule
Saint Mary’s has celebrated Founders’ Day for many years to commemorate its founding in 1912. It has been a time of celebration and recognition of individuals within the Lasallian community. With so much to celebrate about our Lasallian history and mission, the annual day of celebration has been expanded to become De La Salle Week.
Students, staff and faculty members are invited to participate in the final two days of opportunities for learning, reflection, discussion and connection with others.
