Together are we OLG! Over these past couple of weeks, it has been a blessing to once again witness how this parish and school community comes together. We kicked off Catholic Schools week at all of the weekend masses, where we thanked school and parish families for their prayers and support. In addition, a lot of pancakes and bacon were consumed as the Cub Scouts served nearly 900 meals, including 190lbs of bacon – a new record! The very next weekend we celebrated and supported our OLG community at an amazingly fun, spirited and successful Men’s Club Gala. We are a vibrant, thriving, faith-filled school because of our invested and supportive school and parish families. We are grateful, and we appreciate you! I look forward to celebrating 'Together Are We OLG' with you for the rest of the school year! - Mike McGinty
