Lockport Blue
This morning we welcomed law enforcement, fire fighters and first responders to DeSales for our 7th annual Lockport Blue. We welcomed our most esteemed guests with coffee and donuts in our cafeteria and then moved up to the gym for a Lockport Blue vs. 8th graders basketball game.
Father Andrew Lauricella said a prayer for our guests before the game. It was a close game but in the last few minutes, our 8th graders pulled ahead to win.
We are most grateful for the men and women who keep our children and community safe, thank you for a special morning!
