CYO will be registering teams of 3 players from our parish/school to compete against other local Catholic parishes and schools in a private CYO season of Rocket League (4th-8th grade).

Otherwise, we will work to group your child with other kids looking to play. Each team will need to have one parent point of contact take the lead as “Coach” and help facilitate a mutually agreeable time to play with the opponent, so in your registration please also indicate if you are willing to be the team “Coach”. Games will be played each week, starting in November. Register here for $15/player

OLG Immigrant Ministry has been hard at work trying to procure turkeys for Thanksgiving for the new Latino Civic Alliance Center in Burien. Thanks to a very generous donation from Leschi Market, we can provide 100 free turkeys to these families in need in our area! We still need 50 turkeys to meet the need. If you would like to contribute to the cause, we will be collecting donations through Sunday, Nov 21. Please consider giving $25 to help purchase a turkey and some additional fixings. Amazingly, we have a generous donor who will match donations dollar for dollar! To donate, drop off cash or a check (made out to OLG with “turkeys” in the memo) at Mass or the Pastoral Center. You can also give online at www.olgseattle.org (use the “turkey donation” section on the Donate page). 

During the month of November, beginning with the Feast of All Souls, we remember all those who have died, including parishioners from this past year. We invite you to bring a picture of your loved one and place it on the Memorial Table near our All Souls Banners. You can also write their names in our special Book of Prayer. We will keep all of them in our prayers.  Eternal rest grant unto them O Lord. And let perpetual light shine upon them. Amen.

OLG Immigrant Ministry is welcoming new members as we strive to provide direct service to immigrants in need in our community as well as advocate for just policies. We are also in the process of launching a new Multicultural Ministry to recognize and celebrate the many cultures present at OLG. If you are interested in joining us in these efforts, contact Jennifer. Our next meeting is Wednesday, Nov 10 at 6:30pm.

Synod ’21-’23  

Pope Francis invites all the baptized around the world to journey together in a global listening process called, “For a Synodal Church: Communion, Participation, and Mission.” This global consultation process is a major historical event and will provide guidance for the Church to discern “the signs of the times and interpret them in the light of the Gospel” (GS,4). At the same time, Archbishop Etienne’s local mission-focused Pastoral Planning efforts align well with Pope Francis’s synodal process. Parishes are encouraged to move forward in pastoral planning by first participating in the global synodal efforts from November 2021 through early March 2022. Our parish will actively participate throughout the entire process as we, too, begin forming a new mission statement and 5-year plan for OLG. More to come…
