Principal's Letter
Dear OLG Families,

Last night was our State of the School and re-enrollment launch! Those who couldn't be present, we missed YOU... and you missed the community, door prizes, and much more! Watching this shortened recorded version here is a low-tech (and yes, only my simple narration) way to catch up on some of the details. Action Steps to take now are:

  • Re-enroll! The 2023-2024 school year is now open, so log in to SchoolAdmin to complete the contract and pay registration fees. (The deadline is March 24, 2023) NOTE: Registration fees are staying the same... but now includes almost all of that giant "school supplies" list! Thank you to our intrepid Parent Org & Laura Wong for finding cost-savings and time-savings in a new way!!! More to come in the coming weeks!!!
  • Tell us how things are! Didn't do your annual family survey yet? This input is still needed for the Principal Search Committee: Click here to complete the quick 4 minute school survey

Covid Safety Update in the Church
In response to the COVID guidelines being relaxed in our state and county, and with the return of more people to Mass, we will be reducing the number of pews in the “Masks Required” section of the church. The back four pews will be opened up to general seating while the rest of the pews will continue to require masks.  This will ensure that the front pews reserved for seniors and/or persons with disabilities will continue to remain safe. Thank you for helping keep our church safe for everyone!
Celebrating the Season of Lent
This season is a time of preparation that directs our hearts and minds to celebrating Jesus Christ’s Resurrection at Easter. There are many opportunities for you to participate:
  • Our website has a variety of resources, including fasting and abstinence guidelines, a variety of prayer resources, and schedule of upcoming events. [See insert latest bulletin]
  • Join us for our Lenten Communal Reconciliation services on Saturday, Mar 18, 10:00 am or Wednesday, Mar 22, 7:00 pm
  • Pick up one of the “Little Black Booklets” that provides daily reflections during this holy season based on the Scriptures. It is a great resource to enrich your prayer life during this holy season. If possible, a small donation of $5 to help offset the cost would be greatly appreciated. Available in the church vestibule or parish office.
