Reminder: Mass today, Wednesday, January 22, is at 7:30 a.m. - our school students have a re-scheduled field trip to attend.
Whatsoever You Do "Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath rather than do evil, to save life rather than destroy it?" (Mark 3:4). Jesus posed this question to the Pharisees in today's gospel passage. On this Day of Prayer for the Legal Protection of Unborn Children, Jesus poses this same question today. As I grow older, I am realizing even more how precious and beautiful life is from conception to natural death. We are all made in the image and likeness of God, and we need to celebrate that precious gift! So, on this day of prayer, I celebrate each one of you! I have chosen an oldie-but-goodie hymn, "Whatsoever You Do" by Willard F. Jabusch, for today's Wednesday Worship.
We have a fantastic group of students and adults going on two mission trips this summer!
Our Middle School Mission Trip Team stays local: In June, our group will be helping out in Freedom with the mission group Love Begins Here, through the Green Bay Diocese.
Also in June, we have 21 high school students that will travel to Knoxville, Tennessee for a mission trip with Catholic Heart Work Camp. For the first time, we will be linking with parishes from Brillion, Sherwood, Chilton, and Appleton. We will all ride the bus and work together. Please consider making a donation to our groups for our mission trips. For $30 you can TAKE STOCK IN OUR YOUTH. In return, we’ll send you emails (while we are away) to let you know what we are accomplishing. You and a guest will also be invited to our Stockholder Appreciation Dinner, upon our return. We will share pictures, stories and dinner with you.
If you are able to support us financially, checks/cash can be dropped off in the Parish or School Office. Please include your name, address, and email address. Checks can be made out to OLOL with Mission Trip in the memo line. Please address envelopes to Traci LaCrosse. Thanks very much!
Whether you can support us financially or not, will you please pray for us while we are away? Thank you for you continued support. God bless you!
