CATHOLIC RELIEF SERVICES RICE BOWL:
SHARING GOD'S LOVE

For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life. –John 3:16 As we enter Holy Week, we remember how our Lord suffered and died so that each and every one of us might be saved from sin and have eternal life. Reflect on God’s infinite love for you. How have you responded to that love this Lent, and how can you share it with others? Visit crsricebowl.org to learn more and to find Stations of the Cross you can use for prayer during this Holy Week. Remember to turn in your Rice Bowl at the Holy Thursday Mass or at OLG School. Please convert coins to cash or checks (made out to “OLG” with “Rice Bowl” in the memo. Our counters thank you! You can also give online on our new Rice Bowl Community Giving Page

SECOND COMMUNITY DISCERNMENT MEETING: SPONSORING AN AFGHAN REFUGEE FAMILY

We have all seen the images of Afghan families desperately trying to flee their country and, more recently, Ukrainian families seeking refuge from war. It is hard to know what to do or how to help but we can do something if we work together. OLG’s Immigrant Ministry invites you to join us on Tues, April 26th at 6:30 pm in the Pastoral Center basement for a second Community Meeting as we continue to discern how to formally sponsor an Afghan refugee family that has resettled in our area. Come pray, discuss, and discern with us what role OLG can play in this crisis. What can our community offer? What timeframe works for us? Who can help in what capacity? How big of a family can we support? Contact Jennifer for more information.

IMPORTANT TO SHARE
TABERNACLE PROJECT UPADATE

Thank you to all the amazing parishioners and OLG friends who supported last year’s ACA parish project. We raised $60,000 to create a sacred and proper space in the church for our tabernacle where the Blessed Sacrament is reserved.  This space will also be used for prayer and adoration. Before we prepare to launch the 2022 ACA we wanted to provide an update on where we are with last year’s project which was delayed a bit due to Covid. A Steering Committee was formed with representatives from the parish and Liturgy Commission. The Steering Committee selected an architect and reviewed several potential design options. A concept was agreed upon. The implementation team is finalizing the last details and pricing out materials. Look for more information regarding the specifics of this exciting project in late April/early May.
