Friends,


So much great stuff is going on at Old St. Mary's these days, but we get one last chance this Labor Day weekend to catch our breaths before we shift into higher gear. 


There's not much to report for this weekend:

  • Young adults ages 18-39 are welcome to join the Paulists for a social at their house tomorrow night. See below to RSVP.
  • We have a full slate of Masses. Read Ace's reflection from last week for opportunities on how to get involved.


But things really pick up after that:

  • The Legion of Mary hosts their annual celebration of the Birth of Mary on Tues, Sept 8.
  • Back-to-school nights for OSM School are Weds, Sept 9 (grades 6-8) and Thurs, Sept 10 (PreK-5).
  • Sunday Hospitality returns on Sept. 13 at our 8:30 and 11:00 AM Masses!
  • OCIA begins! If you know anyone who might be interested in becoming Catholic, learning about the Catholic faith, or receiving the sacraments of initiation, join us at noon on Sun, Sept 13.
  • Whether or not you have kids at Old St. Mary's School, you're welcome to join a gaggle of OSM folks in the Catholic Schools section for the Chicago Fire game on Sun, Sept 13. Proceeds benefit Nuestros Pequeños Hermanos, and you're welcome to a picnic beforehand in Women's Park.
  • The Paulist Associates invite anyone interested in learning more about Paulist spirituality to join them for a retreat led by Fr. Dan and me on Saturday, Sept 19. Read their invitation in the bulletin.



And there's more happening later in September! See the graphics below to see more of what's coming up. And don't forget that we're hiring for a part-time Building Engineer and several positions at the School!


Blessings!


Rich
