WELCOME BACK TO A
NEW YEAR OF RELIGIOUS ED CLASSES!

This is always an exciting time of year for me and my entire staff of Catechists to see all the children; from apprehensive 1 st graders to our veteran 8th graders; come through those doors to learn and experience Jesus Christ. We are a community of faith, all working together to guide our children to follow Christ and be a light to others.

This year, the church celebrates Catechetical Sunday today. The 2019 theme is "Stay with Us." Those who serve as catechists will be called forth to be commissioned for their ministry, and they truly deserve it.

Catechetical Sunday is a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the role that each person plays, by virtue of Baptism, in handing on the faith and being a witness to the Gospel. Catechetical Sunday is an opportunity for all to rededicate themselves to this mission as a community of faith.

Here are some of OLC’s special volunteers who dedicate their time and share their talent with so many children, teens and adults. We are grateful and blessed to have you!
