It is with an abundance of joy and appreciation that we wish you and your families a most blessed and happy Thanksgiving. We cannot say enough about how thankful we are for the ongoing support of teachers, staff, students, families, and the parish here at OLG. This was evident through the recent incredible generosity shown during Give to OLG Day by reaching our goal of $150,000. Thanks to each and every one of you for your continued generosity and service to our students, our staff, and our school families.

We will keep you in our prayers of gratitude to God. Enjoy your Thanksgiving and may God bless you and those you love.
