THE
SEASON OF LENT – The season of Lent calls all Catholics
to prayer, reflection and penance.
It is a great time to renew family prayer time, perhaps adding Stations
of the Cross, praying the rosary and more frequent Mass attendance. There is a
5:15 PM daily Mass during Lent. Students in grades 3 – 8 will go to
Confession on March 23. Lenten
soup suppers are here every Friday.
SOUP
SUPPER – On Friday,
March 19, it will be OLA SchoolÕs turn to sponsor the parish Lenten Soup
Supper. We are looking for a FEW GOOD HELPERS who can assist
with setup, preparation and cleanup.
Still looking for a way to earn Parent Hours? This is a delicious and easy way to earn some hours. Please contact our school office if you
can help for any amount of time.

Mulcahy Golf Tournament on March 22.
