Dear OLG Family, 

Wishing you well on this weird weather day.  This week we had wonderful opportunities to dive deeper into our faith, with communal reconciliation for our 2nd- 8th graders on Tuesday, and a beautiful Mass, led by our 4th graders today. At Mass, Fr. Tim reminded us to focus on two words from the opening message: God Provides. As we near the end of Lent, preparing for Christ's Death on the Cross, let us remember that God always gives us what we need, in His time, even if it is not in ours. There is only room for abundant love in our world, and God constantly provides opportunities for us to give more than we receive, and love with our whole hearts. Christ recognized that those who loathed Him most, likely needed the most love. Let us give that love to those who need it, and those who deserve it-- which is all human kind, friend or foe, neighbor or stranger. God Provides. 

REMINDER: Good Friday is Full Dress Uniform, and the most somber sacred day of our faith. Additionally, it's a Noon Dismissal. NO EDC OR ELC AFTER CARE.
