Upcoming Holidays, Observations, and Commemorations |
Throughout the year, we celebrate the wide array of individuals, groups, and cultures at La Salle by calling to mind various holidays, observances, and commemorative days that provide our campus with an opportunity to learn and to become involved as they desire. Learn more about the recognitions taking place across the globe and throughout the country during the month of February, including:
The feast of Blessed Brother James Miller, FSC, is celebrated on Feb. 13. In the afternoon of Feb. 13, 1982, Christian Brother James (Santiago) Miller, F.S.C., was shot and killed by three men in Huehuetenango, Guatemala. Brother James was a missionary serving indigenous youth. Attempts to identify the assassins were unsuccessful. On Dec. 7, 2019, Brother Miller became the first De La Salle Christian Brother from the United States to be beatified by the Catholic Church. Beatification is the second of three stages in the process of proclaiming a person a saint. For the beatification, a miracle, attributed to the person’s intercession, is necessary. With beatification the candidate receives the titled of Blessed.
St. Valentine’s Day is celebrated on Feb. 14. The holiday began as a Christian celebration of St. Valentine, a clergyman who ministered to persecuted Christians in the Roman Empire. Pope Gelasius I is traditionally credited with declaring February 14 as St. Valentine's Day around 496 A.D. The holiday became associated with romantic love during the High Middle Ages and continues to be associated with that today. However, it has expanded to celebrate platonic and family love as well. |
