Time to Fall Back

Don't forget to set your clocks back one hour before you go to bed this Saturday. Daylight Savings Time officially ends this Sunday, November 6th at 2am. We lose an hour of daylight, but gain an hour of sleep!

Welcome the Stranger

Jesus called upon us to welcome the stranger. Your gift of time or money will make a difference in the lives of men, women and children seeking asylum in their journey from fear and violence to hope and safety. We will take up a special collection to support Catholic Charities migrant relief efforts at all Masses this Sunday. Click the button below to discover more or donate online.

Thank You from Respect Life Ministry

Another busy Respect Life Month has come to a close, and OLBS Respect Life Ministry wants to thank you for supporting activities and partner agencies that promote a culture that respects life from conception until natural death. Follow this link to read the letter.

Respect Life Ministry also urges us to continue praying and advocating for a society that values life at every stage. USCCB puts it this way, "As Catholics in a post-Roe world, we continue to respond to our call to build a culture of life that supports the dignity of every person at every stage. We call on our lawmakers to do the same. Encourage your members of Congress to pass legislation that advances the health, safety, and flourishing of women, children, and families."

QUEEN OF THE ROSARY SCHOOL REPORT

8th graders have completed their Confirmation Saint Projects that are assigned as a parish Confirmation requirement. They researched the saint that they chose for confirmation and wrote a paper about the saint's life, why they chose that saint, and how the saint is a model for Christian living. They also composed a prayer to their chosen saint. On All Saints Day the 8th graders wore costumes of their saints and led the school Mass. After Mass, the students went to every classroom in the school and told the students about their chosen saints.

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION ROUND UP

Religious Ed students in K through 4th grade enjoyed Halloween treat bags courtesy of our OLBS Youth Ministry at the end of class on Saturday, October 29th.
