The LSCOBA Southern California Chapter hosted its third annual La Salle Day Thanksgiving Mass (LSDTM) at St. Bridget Chinese Catholic Church (SBCCC) in Los Angeles. The celebration was coordinated by Henri Tran ('84). The date of this year’s Mass coincided exactly with the Feast Day of St. John Baptist de La Salle. Father John Lam, pastor of SBCCC, was the celebrant. Honoring the occasion were Brother La Salle Bossong and Brother Chris Patino from the neighboring Cathedral High School as well as Brother De Sales Benning from La Salle High School in Pasadena.
