Welcome to our website! I hope you like what you see. With it, you will learn more about our parish and the Catholic Faith.
ADVENT SRIPTURE SERIES
Patricia (Pat) Platt would like to invite you to ready your hearts for the Great Feast of the Incarnation, Christmas. There will be a three night Advent Series on the Scripture readings on Wednesdays, December 4, 11 and 18 at 7 pm in the Rectory Conference Room. The Scripture readings during this time invite us to the themes of HOPE, PEACE, JOY AND LOVE. The four candles that we light on the Advent Wreath symbolizes these themes as well. God speaks to each heart differently. We invite you to one hour on a Wednesday evening to explore just how our Good and Gracious God just might be speaking to your heart. Peace and all Good!
The Giving Tree Project
OLC Parish Family
We will again be sponsoring the Giving Tree Project. You are asked to take an ornament off the Christmas tree located in the Church. Buy the gift written on the ornament, tape the ornament on the outside of the package and return it to the church under the tree. (Please do not wrap the gifts; the organizations need to see the gifts so they can distribute them properly. Also, for the gift cards, please put them in an envelope and make sure the amount of the card is visible.)
All gifts are to be returned by
Sunday, December 8th
This year we are helping the Bernardine Center, Catholic Social Services, our neighbors Don Guanella Village and Parishioners.
Thank you for your generosity. Any questions – please call Joan at the Rectory.
PLEASE: NEW ITEMS ONLY
