Annual Sack Mass
OLP’s Annual Leadership Team Sack Mass will be held on Wednesday, November 9 at 8:15 a.m. Each student will be sent home with a grocery sack along with a list of items that are in high demand at our local food pantry. Students are asked to purchase a few of the items and place them in the grocery sack provided. Students will bring their sacks with donations inside to school on November 9. All donations collected by students will be blessed during all school Mass that morning. After Mass, the sacks will be taken to Lee’s Summit Social Services and given as a donation to serve those in need. This is a wonderful Mass for family members to attend. You are able to witness the true meaning of giving and thank God for our many blessings; we invite you to join us.
