Virtue for the Month of October: "Faithfulness" Faith in Jesus is our belief that he came to die and rise from the dead to earn us a place in heaven.  Faithfulness to Jesus is our eagerness to share that news, our desire to do what we promise, and our willingness to follow him.

Please use extra caution and drive slowly in the parking lots, especially at the archway.  Let's keep our kids safe!  Thank you, Fr. Jim.

SCHOOL NEWS: Safety Patrol, Trunk or Treat, Living Rosary, Choo Choo Fest, Chattigras, 8th Grade fundraiser and Art Exhibition
·         Safety Patrol is a parent led volunteer opportunity. Our goal is to keep our kids safe during the peak times of morning drop off. This is a great way to earn those PIP hours and it only takes about 30 minutes a day (including dropping off your student in the cafeteria and picking up and returning safety equipment). Working a full week will earn you 3 PIP hours!  We're using VolunteerSpot to organize parent volunteers for our morning parking lot Safety Patrol. Check the week after fall break for openings.  Please sign up for OLPH Morning Safety Patrol. SIGN-UP FOR THE ENTIRE WEEK BY CLICKING ON MONDAY OF THAT WEEK. Here's how it works in 3 easy steps: 1. Click this link to go to our invitation page on VolunteerSpothttp://vols.pt/4cZ5vU.  2. Enter your email address: (You will NOT need to register an account on VolunteerSpot).  3. Sign up!

·        Join us in honoring Our Lady by participating in the Living Rosary on October 17th at 11:00 A.M.  During the assembly in the gym, students will stand in the shape of the rosary as each one leads one of the prayers.
·        Thanks to everyone who came out to enjoy the Choo Choo Fall Fest!  Everyone enjoyed the adult and student tricycle races, carnival games, face painting, inflatables and food followed by cheering on the Rams in their game against Sale Creek.  Thank you to all the hard-working volunteers who made the day such a huge success!
·        ChattiGras will be here before we know it so, be sure to mark your calendars for Saturday.

·        The Creative Discovery Museum is having an Art Exhibition during the month of October.  Our 7th graders and most of the Pre-K will have artwork up for the exhibit.  Students participating will receive a free pass to go see their artwork.

The Catholic middle school team defeated Sale Creek 49-30 to claim the title of Choo Choo Bowl Champions!  The Choo Choo Fall Fest featuring the Choo Choo Bowl game was a great day for the school and team.  The Rams enjoyed the "Grand Walk" where a large crowd of cheerleaders, students and parents formed a cheering funnel for the team to run through on the way to the game.  Curtis Dearing and Michael Howard scored for the Rams.  Curtis also led the team in tackles.  Catholic then defeated Grace 34-21 last night to finish the season with an impressive 8-2 record.  Matthew Leutz and Dallas Brown were standouts.  Catholic football is a cooperative program made up of students from OLPH and St. Jude.  The team enjoyed great success this season on and off the field, scoring victories over many solid teams.  The Catholic 6th grade team still has several games left, including a game tomorrow against undefeated East Ridge.  It is a home game and kick off is at 1:30 P.M.  Overall, the Catholic football program is 15-3.  It has been a great season, with great fan support and the best cheerleaders in Chattanooga.
