Sunday, January 31, 2021:  Celebrating our Parishes

Our Celebration begins with our Kick-off Masses at our legacy parishes:  St. Catherine of Siena – 9 AM, St. Anthony of Padua – 10:30 AM, St. Alphonsus – 10:15 AM.  We are encouraging our families to attend one of these masses – either in person or streaming online.  Students and their families are asked to wear OLM gear to represent the school.  OLM Principal John McGrath will be speaking at each of the masses.

Students and staff arrive at school wearing mismatched socks, shoes, and shirts on backward.  Isn’t that what Mondays usually feel like anyway?  This is a Dress Down Day

OLM will have a “Soup” -er Bowl challenge to help stock the shelves at the Saint Vincent DePaul food pantry. This year is Super Bowl 55, so our goal will be to collect 550 cans of soup or stew. This challenge will take place all week.   Thank you for helping those in need.  Special thanks to Abby Rosenbaum – grade 7 – for leading this effort.
