Lourdes Letter from Principal Young

Dear OLOL Families,


It is hard to believe but we will be welcoming our students for the 2023-2024 school year later this month. I hope that you and your children are as excited as I am for the 2023-2024 school year.


You should have received the back-to-school packet which includes all important days and times for before-school events. If you haven’t received it, please contact the school office.  


There are a few staffing updates which I would like to pass along.  I’m am having discussions with individuals about the supportive consultant role. I’m confident that we will find the individual that will flourish in that role in the upcoming weeks. Ms. Kaycee Gierczak has resigned her position as she is relocating to the Wausau area. We wish her well on her new role and location. I’m currently interviewing teachers for this position.


I am working closely with GRACE President, Kim Desotell, to analyze all aspects regarding this position. With the review of the Kindergarten and 1st Grade class enrollments, I wish to assure you that we will make a decision and communicate to you, as soon as we are able. I appreciate your support and patience. You can rest assured that the decision will be based on what is best for student learning.


We have some TSF hour opportunities with Packer Parking. We would appreciate it if you could get some OLOL friends together and help us out with this fundraiser. If you have additional time, please consider volunteering to be a lead for a couple of games.  


Please save the date for our 1st OLOL Parent Homecoming which will be on Friday, September 8th from 7 - 10PM. This is a community building event with the goal of connecting our new parents with our existing families. The goal is not to be a fundraiser but just to celebrate as a community. Please see the flier below for more details.


The first day of school will be Tuesday, August 29th. I incorrectly had the 29th as a Wednesday.


Important Dates:


Wednesday, August 23rd 6:30 - New Family Orientation Mandatory for all preschool, kindergarten families as well as any new families in 1st - 8th grade.

Thursday, August 24th 3:30 - 5th grade and new middle school students orientation

Thursday, August 24th 4:00 - 6:30 - Back-to-School Night

Dear Parishioners,


19-20 August 2023 will be a busy, yet celebrative, weekend here at Our Lady of Lourdes as we prepare for the beginning of the new academic year, while bringing summer vacations to a close. I’d like you to be aware of activities taking place that weekend which hopefully you will attend to share in the joy of the completion of two recent campus improvements.

OPEN HOUSE AT THE PARISH CENTER – 1307 LOURDES AVENUE

We have added additional members to our parish administrative and pastoral staff. In order to accommodate more ‘workers in the vineyard,’ it was necessary to expand our work environment. Over the past year, the entire second floor of the parish center, the former Saint Joseph of Carondelet Convent, was gutted and re-purposed to accommodate additional offices and a new meeting room. The first floor has also been refreshed, and safety/security measures have been added. You are welcome to check out the newly-refurbished parish center after the 4:30 PM, 8:15 AM and 10:15 AM Masses.

RE-DEDICATION OF THE SAINT PIUS X EXPOSITION AND ADORATION CHAPEL

As we begin our parish participation in the USCCB’s three-year roll out of the “Eucharistic Revival,” we will re-dedicate the refreshed adoration chapel that was constructed at Lourdes during the pastorate of Father Tim Shillcox, O. Praem. The chapel is being updated with new furnishings, a refreshed color scheme, a new Eucharistic “Lumen Christi” window, a new “Eucharistic Exposition Tower” and a newly-created monstrance that will find its home in the new tower. All are encouraged to consider attending the 10:15 AM Mass on Sunday which will conclude with a Eucharistic Procession, transferring the Holy Eucharist (in its new monstrance) around the campus to the newly updated chapel.

Fraternally,

Father James Baraniak, O. Praem.


Northeastern Wisconsin American Guild of Organists presents

Power of Pipes Concert Series!

Our Lady of Lourdes: August 22 at 6:30 pm.

Power of the Pipes:

These 45 minute concerts occur on Tuesday evenings at 6:30 during the late summer. Each one is located at a different Green Bay area church and features its resident organist. The concerts provide opportunities to learn about the history of these churches and of the organs you find inside them. Each concert is different, providing opportunities to hear different kinds of organ music, some of which you will certainly not hear during Sunday morning worship!
