We are so grateful to our O'Hara community, once again, for the tremendous support and generosity shown to our school. This year's annual auction event, O'Hara Open, was a successful and fun night! Thank you to our auction chairs, Kate & Kyle Hudson, for their dedication and leadership in planning & executing a wonderful night of generosity and love for our school. Thank you to all the committee chairs, countless volunteers and donors!
Thank you to O'Hara parents, Dustin & Erin Whitaker, of Down the Beanstalk Productions, for producing our wonderful auction video! It is always a highlight of the night to watch our kids on the big screen!

Ash Wednesday & Lent 2018
Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent, is this week.
We invite you to join us for our Ash Wednesday Mass, at 8:30am on February 14. Students should wear uniform Mass dress.
All parents and visitors are welcome to participate in a prayer group that will meet in the chapel before Mass, from 8:05am - 8:25am.
Ash Wednesday is one of the most important holy days in the liturgical calendar. Ash Wednesday opens Lent, a season of fasting and prayer.
Ash Wednesday takes place 46 days before Easter Sunday, and comes from the ancient Jewish tradition of penance and fasting. The practice includes the wearing of ashes on the head. The ashes symbolize the dust from which God made us. As the priest applies the ashes to a person's forehead, he speaks the words: "Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return."
