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 January and February, including:


The Lunar New Year is known as a time of renewal and celebration. This year, the celebration starts on January 29 and lasts for approximately 15 days. This vibrant festival is celebrated in many other countries around the world. The festivities are rich with traditions and activities. Colorful parades fill the streets, featuring dragon and lion dances that symbolize strength and good luck. Fireworks light up the sky, warding off evil spirits and welcoming the new year with a bang. Families gather for reunion dinners, sharing meals that are believed to bring prosperity and happiness.


The Feast of St. Mutien-Marie Wiaux is celebrated on Thursday, Jan. 30. Canonized in 1989 by Pope John Paul II, he is known for his humble service, deep faith, and dedication to education, and is one of 14 De La Salle Christian Brothers that have been canonized, 150 have been beatified, and eight have been declared venerable. La Salle's St. Mutien Hall, where the Public Safety Department is located, is named after him.
