Dear OLG Families,
Welcome to the season of
Lent. It is always a challenging time for me personally... choosing what to give-up, what to replace with a better practice. As Father said at Mass on Ash Wednesday, this is the time to let the
Light of Christ in to our lives. What practices and habits do we have that hold us back from a closer relationship with each other, and with Christ?
We'll have additional school-wide prayers this lenten season to help bring us closer together. I encourage you to use the practice of the
CRS Rice Bowls, the little black lent booklets, and other resources to bring your family closer this Lenten season.
We also have an event each year that always brings us closer together as a community. Yes, there is the free-throw competition this Saturday, the fish fries scattered throughout this season, but I'm talking about our
Auction!
It is here! Now is your last chance to get in on the action...Get your tickets
HERE! An incredible team of folks have been working hard on bringing the Auction to life this year. It is going to be a great event and I hope to see many of you there!

Yours in Christ,
Anton Kramer
