Parish Lenten Mission
Starting Sunday, March 15, 7:30 PM
Tuesday, March 16 & Wednesday, March 17-7:30 PM
During this year’s Lenten mission, Father Jay will delve into the earliest days of the Church to look into the teachings of the Apostles and the Church Fathers about the development of Lenten prayer, fasting and almsgiving. Through uniting ourselves in prayer with our ancient Church, we will see how their teachings have illuminated Christ’s love in helping us to enter more deeply into His Passion, Death, and Resurrection to this day.

Shepherd's Meal
FRIday, March 17, 6:30 pm
On the last Friday of each month, Shepherd's Meal is prepared and served in our community 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 Roman or Patti at shepherdsmeal@ollwhs.org to let them know how you would like to help.
