Dear OLG Families,
Happy Thursday! Three major events to note for next week:
Safe Parking (
begins Monday 2/24) and our parent education series for
Internet Safety
(Tuesday 2/25) are two big items. The third is of course the beginning of Lent. There are three opportunities for
Ash Wednesday (2/26) in our parish. See our calendar of events below!
As I mentioned on Monday, our parish
Safe Parking program is about to begin and we've been "preparing the guest room" quite a bit this week. Several of you have seen Sal out working on last parts of the "hospitality hut" Our students have also walked the area this week and had discussions with their teachers on how we welcome guests into our home. Teachers and families have already begun the hands-on ministry preparing the area as well. If your family would also like to help, there are multiple ways to get connected with this parish program serving others. Please read on in the parish section below.
Finally, we almost exactly a week away from the school
Auction
(2/29). Ticket sales are brisk, and this is the last weekend to buy a ticket to a wonderful night that benefits all our students and helps so much to improve our programs each and every year:

Join the 100+ parishioners who have signed up for the Day of Service on Saturday,
March 28
! With 16 projects left to choose from, you may need more information! This week's featured project is Books for Prisoners, a non-profit that began in Seattle in the early 1970s to help foster love of reading for incarcerated individuals. By providing tools for education and self-fulfillment, Books for Prisoners offers hope, and opens minds for our brothers and sisters behind bars. Volunteers will spend the day answering book request letters by locating the books and preparing them to be mailed. This service project is limited to ten volunteers, ages 15 and up.
