FIRE! Meal Contribution

​

What is FIRE?
OLL is introducing our new FIRE program! FIRE represents the burning hearts of the apostles as Jesus opened the Scriptures to them on the road to Emmaus. Our desire for you and your family is that your heart will also burn as we all grow in understanding of Christ and his message. This program is more than a lesson, it is an experience created to ignite a flame within the hearts of each family member in our parish. Inspired by the Holy Spirit, FIRE is designed to empower parents as the most influential catechists in their children's lives.

 

The commitment from Council 9240 to cooking dinners and providing meals to families participating in the OLL Family Faith Formation program, we aim to support and strengthen our community's spiritual and physical well-being.

Wives of Deceased Knights Banquet

On 4 February following the Noon Mass, the Knights of Columbus honored seven Wives of Deceased Knights with a Banquet in the Cafeteria Sunroom. The theme for the event was Mardi Gras. The Knights held a second line from the Parish Life Center to OLL School Cafeteria. The wives enjoyed the second line and when we lined up for the second line and entered the Cafeteria the Lady Knights provided Corsages, Plants, Beads, Lei’s, and Boa’s for each of the wives. Each deceased Knight was represented by a current Knight guest speaker.
