Today is the third Sunday of Advent; let us pray:
Jesus, Messiah, help us to see you at work in our lives, especially in the moments where we feel alone and discouraged. Help us to cry out at your coming, and to hear the prophets of the good news whom you send to encourage and remind us you are already here. Amen.
Wishing all of our families a very safe and blessed Christmas.
Please remember, this coming week is a full week of school, including a full day on Friday. If your family will be taking vacation days either before or after Christmas break, please email Barb so she can mark your student(s) out. Thank you!

Please bring in new, or gently used, blankets, mittens, gloves, scarves, hats, coats, and boots and put them in the barrels in the front lobby. Your donations will help some of our community members stay a little warmer this winter! Thank You!
Smart Lunch Program
We want to thank all our families for their patience as we are working on details for our lunch program. As you all know, we had originally hoped to launch our new program in November, but due to issues between LCC and our Archdiocese coordinating contracts, we have had to postpone the start date. We are very excited to bring this lunch program to O'Hara and we are very optimistic about our relationship with LCC. Our revised start date for lunch service will be January 19th. On January 4th, the LCC online ordering system will open; an updated menu will also be available on the 4th.
Thank you to all of our generous donors who made contributions to purchase equipment upgrades. A mobile heated cabinet and a commercial grade ice maker have been installed and are ready to go.
Thank you again for your patience and understanding during this process!

Eugene Seminary Benefit Dinner - March 6, 2016 
Please join Mount Angel seminarians for the 7th annual Eugene Seminary Benefit Dinner, on Sunday, March 6, at 4:30 p.m. at the Valley River Inn in Eugene. The reception begins at 4:30 p.m., followed by dinner and the program.
Guests will break bread with seminarians at their tables, getting acquainted with the men who will offer the light of Christ to the world.
Many of you have watched your seminarians grow into their vocations, through pastoral formation assignments as deacons and, finally,
as ordained priests. These are men our world needs.
