Letter from Principal Young

Dear OLOL Families,


Congratulations to our second graders that received their first Holy Communion on Sunday.  Our hope is that the student’s first Holy Communion will lead them to create a deep, close relationship with our Savior, Jesus Christ.  I was extremely proud of our students and how well they were prepared and how reverent they were.  Parents, thank you for your involvement in bringing your child to this moment.  We appreciate all that you have done.


We are in need of some volunteers to help with the OLOL Electronic Recycling Drive this is happening this coming Saturday from 8:00 - Noon.  Proceeds go directly to OLOL Catholic School.  Click HERE to sign-up.  We are still in need of about 15 folks.  This is an easy way to earn TSF hours.  All you need to do is help individuals get their electronics out of the car and into recycling bins. If you are available we would appreciate if you could signup to help.


We invite all OLOL Catholic School families to attend the 4:30PM Saturday afternoon Mass on May 21st.  Following Mass we are hosting the “OLOL Bounce into Summer”.  We want to celebrate our 2021-2022 students as well as introduce new 2022-2023 students to OLOL.  We will have a bounce house and yard games.  The Gourmet Corn Food Truck will be onsite for you to purchase dinner for your family. 


Attend this event with a friend and you could go home with a new MAC-Pro laptop.  All you need to do is bring a family along that might have an interest in attending OLOL in the fall.  If you do that, then you will be entered into a drawing for the MAC computer.  


We would also like to show-off our school to our new families.  One of the best ways to do that is to have our students take the liturgical aspects of the Saturday afternoon Mass.  Please sign-up your son or daughter HERE.  We would also like a full school choir to sing. Use the signup above if your son or daughter will sing in  the church choir on the 21st.

OLOL Facebook Page (Parents)


A group of parents have created a Facebook group for OLOL parents. It is called OLOL Catholic School DePere - Parents. 


It is a private Facebook group and is being administered by parents. You will need to be approved to join it, as an OLOL parent. 


The hope is that parents can use this page as a way to ask some simple questions quickly, share pictures and things going on at school.


If you have questions or concerns about school, please contact OLOL staff and administration; not this Facebook page. A priority of Fr. Jim's Lourdes 200 is building a strong community and this Facebook page is geared toward that goal. 


OLOL staff will continue to maintain the OLOL School Facebook page. We ask that you continue to follow and like the school Facebook page.


If you have any questions please contact the school office.

Summer Tutoring


Hello OLOL Families!


Believe it or not the year is rapidly coming to an end!  During the summer months I offer 1-on-1 tutoring services. I generally meet with students for one hour  2-3 times each week in their homes or childcare settings, however, I am flexible.


If you are interested in summer tutoring for your child, and would like more information please message me at [email protected].


Happy Spring!
