Thank you from OPA!
Thank you to all the moms who joined us for Fat Tuesday by the Fire. It was a fun evening to end carnival time. We had 3 ladies who went home with some of Carrie Gress's lovely Theology of the Home books after finding a baby in their slice of king cake. We indulged in many delicious treats and drinks. And we enjoyed hearing everyone's various Lenten traditions while sitting around the fire. With hearts warmed with the many blessings of the evening, we begin our Lenten journey. Praying you encounter the Lord and experience a fruitful Lent filled with many graces.
