St. John Baptist De La Salle. . .


Native Trinity
The significance of morning prayer from the perspective of Ryan Scott:  

The first day in the De La Salle Blackfeet School was full of new experiences. Upon our arrival we jumped into the daily lives of each grade. To start the day, the students arrive and assemble in the school cafeteria for a morning prayer. Students mention names of loved ones to pray for and recite the Pledge of Allegiance with surprising enthusiasm. They even have a Blackfeet word of the day.

Initially the immersion brought an overwhelming uncertainty of not knowing what to expect, but a simple phrase quickly turned this uncertainty
into feelings of joyful expectation and comfortability:
"St. John Baptist De La Salle. . .Pray for us."
