After Mass Scrip Sellers Needed
We are looking to return the practice of selling scrip to those attending Masses. To ease into this practice and ensure we have sufficient volunteers to sell, we will begin by selling only between the 8:15 and 10:15am Masses on the first and third Sunday of each month (to align with Children of God and Young Families Ministry).
Volunteers will sell from the end of the 8:15am Mass (around 9 or 9:15am) until the start of the 10:15am Mass to allow those attending either Mass the opportunity to buy. One TSF hour will be earned for this period. Additional dates/times for selling around Masses are possible as we train and have sufficient volunteers. It is our goal to begin selling soon in order to capitalize on the holiday buying season. If you are interested in volunteering, please reach out to Bridget Destree at bd0105@yahoo.com.

Thank You from Catholic Foundation | | |
|
Dear OLOL families,
Last year, your donations for dress down days raised $928 which assisted families in Bolivia with llamas and vegetable gardens so they are provided opportunities to earn a sustainable income for their family. We recently received a thank you note from the Catholic Foundation.

Lectio Divina
We pray with all Catholics throughout the Green Bay Diocese
| | |
|
There are different ways to engage in Lectio Divina. If you are a beginner here is a process that will help you get started.
Step 1: Prepare yourself to read scripture. You will need to find a time and location where you will not be interrupted or disturbed. Ready yourself to read God’s word and see how He wants you to respond.
Step 2: Read the scripture and look for words or phrases that jump out at you.
Step 3: Reflect on those words or phrases and what they mean to you.
Step 4: Reread the scripture and spend a few moments in quiet reflection on what God is calling you to do through these words or phrases.
Step 5: Reread the scripture a third time and it is time to respond. What actions will you take after your conversation with God?

Matthew 22:34-40
Daily Readings from USCCB
When the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees,
they gathered together, and one of them,
a scholar of the law tested him by asking,
"Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?"
He said to him,
"You shall love the Lord, your God,
with all your heart,
with all your soul,
and with all your mind.
This is the greatest and the first commandment.
The second is like it:
You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments."

All Saints Day - Saints Among Us
As we prepare for All Saints Day on November 1, Fr. Jim Baraniak, O.Praem has been in the classrooms teaching about Saints Before Us and Saints Among Us.
While students have been learning about various saints, they have also considered the mony people surrounding them who are saints in the making.
For the All Saints Day Mass, students and teachers will dress as a saint. In addition, they will be wearing a medallion of someone they believe is a saint among us. They might choose a grandparent, sibling, teacher or relative.
Each week of November, during the Wednesday school masses, some of the students will speak about their Saint Among Us.
