Liturgy Dress Code
On the days the De La Salle community celebrates Mass (liturgy) together, all students are required to wear the official DLS logo shirt and tie. This code was designed in an effort to show respect for Liturgy and the coming together as a community. It is expected that all students will be in compliance on Liturgy Schedule Days. Students not in dress code will be expected to report to the Pilot Hangar and purchase an acceptable shirt and tie. … Liturgy Schedule Days are noted on the Calendar.
