Shepherd's Meal
Friday, July 31, 6:30 pm
Shepherd's Meal is prepared and served in our Community Hall to anyone who wants to come and share a meal. Not only is this ministry an opportunity to give back by preparing a salad, meal, or dessert, but also a way to build community and share that meal with others by dining with the guests. If you’d prefer, come and help out with setup, serving, or cleanup. We begin at 5:30 pm and finish by 8:00 pm. Meals should be dropped off by 4:30 pm, and please bring them hot. Contact shepherdsmeal@ollwhs.org to let them know how you would like to help.

KNITTERS & CROCHETERS: HELP NEEDED
Before an Our Lady of Lourdes family has their first child baptized, they are required to attend a Baptismal Preparation class. This helps parents prepare for the gift and responsibility of raising children in the Catholic Christian faith. At the class, each family receives a handmade white blanket for their child. These beautiful hand-made items are made with prayers stitched into each and every row. Each blanket is sized to comfortably cover a child in a car seat or stroller. Our faith community is blessed with many baptisms and thus we are in need of knitters and crocheters to help make more of these lovely blankets. For information on how you can donate your time and talent to support this ministry, please contact the church office at bulletin@ollwhs.org.
