From Whence Vocations, specifically ...

LaSalette Boys Academy.  

21 graduates...16 of them going to the seminary in 2015.  I don't think St. John Bosco could say much against that percentage!

Where vocations are, there the Church flourishes.

LaSalette Boys' Academy
AN
UNCOMMON
PLACE

This is a fearful place
This is an awesome place
A Christian ground
To bear our race.

Tabernacle
House of Gold
Hidden Jesus
Boys behold.

Outside Chapel
Men enrage
Cloistered minds
In truth engage.

This is a fearful place
This is an awesome place
A Christian fort
The enemy, face.

Before a game
Before a class
Rosary said
On beads of brass.

Before Confession
They examine
Gorge on grace
Gainst sin-fed famine.

This is a fearful place
This is an awesome place
A tower of ivory
Their garrison, base.

And upon the pitch
“Push back the age
As hard as it pushes against you”
Rage!

This Christian ground
This fort, this tower
Fearful, awesome…
It’s now your hour!!
