This gathering provides an opportunity for a reflective, spiritual, and inspirational experience of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s life and legacy. This year’s theme is “If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward.”  

This event has brought together the La Salle community and its neighbors to celebrate Dr. King’s legacy and use it to spur action toward the values of justice, spirituality, and collaboration.  The Interfaith Service is intended to reflect on the numerous religious traditions that were informed by Dr. King’s work.  This is an initiative of La Salle’s Community Building Team (CBT) — a group of students, faculty, staff, and community neighbors who, according to their mission statement, “operate with mutual respect, compassion, and inclusivity, and work to live those values in our neighborhood through purposeful partnerships.”

The evening’s flow is as follows:
4:30 PM -  Informal gathering and reception in the lobby of Founders’ Hall
5:00 PM -  Interfaith Service in Founders’ Hall Auditorium
6:15 PM -   Reception with live music featuring The Stephen Mitnaul Trio, refreshments, and fellowship
