Please attend Mass this weekend with your Parish Priest. "For the harvests of the Spirit, thanks be to God. For the good we all inherit, thanks be to God. For the wonders that astound us, for the truths that still confound us, most of all, that love has found us, THANKS BE TO GOD." From For the Fruit of All Creation, F. Pratt Green

Our virtue for the month of November is "Gratitude." Gratitude is the virtue that leads us to take note of the gifts that we receive each day, value the generosity of the giver, respond to these gifts, take advantage of them, develop them, and place them at the service of others.

Your child was photographed on 09/17/2012 and we don't want you to miss this important milestone in your child's life. Call 1-800-566-0783 and provide your Picture Day ID OS012024YP to order.

Group 1 will meet on Mondays (Dec. 3, 10, 17) and Group 2 on Tuesdays (Dec. 4, 11, 18) from 3:15 until 5:00. We will be meeting in the kindergarten.  Students in the First and Second Grade will meet in the gym after dismissal and walk over with me.  Everyone will need to be picked up by 5:30.  There is a limit of six for each group--total of 12 students. Registration opened Monday, November 12 and closes when all twelve spots are taken.  Please register early and online to ensure a space for your child (ren). Even if you have told me that you want your child (ren) to participate, you will still need to register and pay online. No checks in envelopes on the last day for registration, PLEASE!  Our model will be on display in the Kindergarten entry way (coat area) and in Holy Family Hall during the holidays. This is NOT a beginner level Lego project.  Young people will not get to take anything home.  For more Information and to sign up go to: http://olphmakersclub.blogspot.com/p/blog-page.html .
