de la Salle s First Mass After finishing his preparatory schooling, john entered the seminary of St. Sulpice in Paris. Before he could complete his courses his father and mother died in rapid succession and he, as eldest son, was in duty bound to return and take care of the household. While at home he continued his seminary courses by special arrangement and was or- dained a priest on April 9, 1678. His First Mass was marked by an extraordinary fervor. Con- trary to the custom of his time, he held firmly to the absolute necessity of daily celebration of the Sacrifice of the Altar.
