Dear OLG Families,
We are well into
Lent, which is a time of reflection and "turning." Turning away from selfishness, away from consumerism, turning away from so many things our society pushes daily. It is a time for turning toward a deeper relationships. What will you do this Lent to
turn?
We have two
turning events in the next 7 days in our school. Our
Auction, March 3rd (see full program
HERE), and our
State of the School,
March 7th (
RSVP here)
. Both of these provide us all with an opportunity to
turn to the those around us, to be in community with each other, and to
turn towards the future. An incredible team of folks have been working hard to bring the auction to life. Can't make it to the auction? We also have plenty of opportunities for
Hands and Feet to help with setup, all day Friday and Saturday in the Walmesley Center.
Next
Wednesday at 6:30 we have the
State of the School and the Registration for next year opens fully. Just like the President's "State of the Union" brings together all branches of government, I hold this opportunity for new and current families, School Commission, and Parent Org to all be in community for a report of where we are, what our current initiatives are, and where we are moving in the future. Plus, we release the new budget/tuition amounts and fully open registration. Please come to this vital meeting. Child Care is available
(
RSVP here).
I
turn to
you in these next seven days to see where we are in relationship. The largest fundraiser of the year (Auction), and the largest enrollment night of the year (State of the School). What will you do this Lent to
turn?

Yours in Christ,

It’s Working: Tell the House to Support the Sanctity of Life and Abolish the Death Penalty in Washington State
This could be the year Washington abolishes the death penalty In a historic vote, the Senate passed the bill to abolish the death penalty! On 2/20, Bishop Mueggenborg testified in favor of repealing the Death Penalty and on 2/21, Catholics from around the State lobbied our Representatives to do the same. The bill passed out of the House Judiciary Committee the next day and now needs to be voted on by the full House before the session ends on March 8. You can help by emailing and/or calling Representatives. Go to
www.abolishdeathpenalty.org and click on “News” or “Take Action” for a pre-written, editable message you can send or call the Legislative Hotline at 1-800-562-6000. It’s a short session this year so be sure to speak up soon!
