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 October, including:
- The Catholic Church celebrates the month of October as the Month of the Rosary. The rosary is a popular devotion among the Christian faithful that dates from the early 1000s. Through its four mysteries—joyful, sorrowful, glorious, and luminous—Christians meditate on our salvation through important events in the lives of Jesus and our Blessed Mother. It was officially recognized as a feast in the Church to mark the Christian victory at the battle of Lepanto in 1571, a naval victory over the Turkish fleet.
- Filipino American History Month (FAHM) is celebrated in October to recognize the history, culture, and contributions of Filipino Americans to the United States. The month was established in 1988 to commemorate the first recorded arrival of Filipinos in the continental United States on October 18, 1587.
- Italian American Heritage Month is celebrated every year to honor and recognize the centuries of achievements, successes, and valuable contributions of Italian immigrants and Italian Americans.
