THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN FOR

THE 2024 BISHOP'S APPEAL RESULTS

We are most pleased to announce the Parish received a check from the Diocese 2024 Bishop's Ministries Appeal in the amount of $10,249.24. These funds returned to the Parish represent the commitment and support of our donors to the Bishop's Ministries Appeal. All funds over our goal of $29,000 were returned to us for Parish needs. We appreciate our donors role in sustaining the many vital ministries and programs funded by the Bishop's Ministries Appeal. This result is an example of coming together as members of one family united in Christs love to realize and accomplish great things.

Thank you to all our 2024 Appeal Donors!

BISHOP BARRON’S LENTEN GOSPEL REFLECTIONS

This Lent, take your prayer life to the next level, immerse yourself in the daily Gospel readings, and meditate on reflections by Bishop Barron.

For Christians, Lent is an important time of reflecting on the suffering and death of Jesus so as to enter into the joy of his Resurrection.

In this devotional book, Bishop Robert Barron invites you to enter more deeply into the prayerful nature of the season. Lenten Gospel Reflections features the full Gospel reading for each day of Lent, a daily reflection from Bishop Barron, space for journaling and answering reflection questions, and more! Beautiful, practical, and affordable, this booklet is ideal for both individual meditation and group study.

We have a limited number of these devotional books available for purchase in the Parish Office for $10.00.

DIVE DEEP INTO THE MYSTERY OF CHRIST

THIS LENT WITH FORMED

Signup to receive episodes via email of two new series: How to Lent & Foretold to help you prepare for the holy season.

How to Lent is a new series from the Augustine Institute that aims to equip Catholics with the tools to understand and practice the pillars of Lent: prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. Guided by Solenne Santiago and with the help of priests and religious, this series will challenge our preconceived notions about Lent, laying out a roadmap for entering the season with a purpose.

When was the last time you heard something good on the news? Because of the constant intake of “bad news,” many people no longer believe in the Providence of God, nor trust that he has a plan for us. Join Dr. Sean Innerst in Foretold, a new series from the Augustine Institute that weaves together the Old and New Testament stories, highlighting their connecting threads of prophecy and fulfillment.

BEWARE OF EMAIL & TEXT SCAMS

PHISHING is an attack that attempts to steal your money, or your identity, by getting you to reveal personal information--such as credit card numbers, bank information, or passwords. Cybercriminals typically pretend to be reputable companies, friends, or acquaintances in a fake message, which contains a link to a phishing website.

OLG would NEVER solicit funds through any electronic means. If you do receive one of these texts or emails and are unsure, DO NOT OPEN IT & DELETE IT! Report these to the police. God Bless and be safe!
