Dear OLMC School Parents,
Just about two weeks ago, I had the gift of attending a retreat with
many of our Priests and parish staff members at St. Joseph’s Retreat
Center in Tipton, In. If you have never visited this retreat center, I
would highly recommend it. The property is absolutely beautiful and
our past associate pastor, Fr. David Huemmer, is the chaplain!

Golden Cross Award:
The Golden Cross Award is designed to reinforce the Virtue Education Program in place in our school. Last week we began the Golden Cross Award program again. Students can nominate someone (classmates, teachers or staff) any time they see someone demonstrating an act of virtue during school. A new winner will be announced every other Friday during school Mass.
Congratulations to our winners, Danny Hall for Charity and Ava Klinker for Integrity & Charity.
