Yesterday, La Salle boys spent the afternoon at Bishop DiMarzio’s Christmas Luncheon at Russo’s on the Bay. This is the premier Christmas event for the Diocese of Brooklyn and Queens. We came to return the tremendous support we receive from the Diocese, of which over half our boys hail from the two boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens. With well over 1000 persons at the lunch, LaSalle was the only school in attendance with students and we were the only school to get a “shout out” recognition at the end of the lunch!
