1st Reconciliation and 1st Holy Communion – SIGN up for classes TODAY!

If you have a second grader at OLL school or in public school now is the time to sign up for First Reconciliation and 1st Holy Communion prep classes. Go to https://ollrvayouthministry.weebly.com/registration.html to register!

JOIN THE DISCUSSION! Pick up Dr. Edward Sri’s book Who am I to Judge? and join us for a discussion on this work on relativism and how to respond to it. We will gather on Friday, October 30 at 7:00PM in the Commons. Bring your own refreshments (we aren’t allowed to share at this time) and chat with other parishioners. We will be safely distancing and using masks but we can still enjoy some laughs and our community! Email Patti to say you are coming: pchristensen@ollrichva.org

Wish you could do something to help our community but the virus is keeping you at home?

Here is an opportunity! We have a number of children who are preparing for full initiation into the Church in the spring and I am looking for people who will commit to praying for these children throughout their preparation.

Praying for others is a spiritual work of mercy so you have the opportunity to serve the Church and your parish!

If you would be willing to pray for one of our children call Patti at 262-7315 ext 225 or email her at pchristensen@ollrichva.org

Thank you!

Vacation Bible School – At Home
As summer gets hotter and the kids say, “I’m bored!” we have a little fun for you! We may not have Vacation Bible School in person but we have a 3 day VBS at home file that we can share with you. The theme is on the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. It includes fun activities, crafts and themed snacks. It’s really easy to use and the kids will have fun decorating and preparing the items. Email Patti if you would like access to the files. pchristensen@ollrichva.org

Sacrament “Catch Up”:

Do you have a child who missed receiving their First Reconciliation and/or First Holy Communion in their second grade year? If so, please contact Patti Christensen at pchristensen@ollrichva.org or at 262.7315 ext 225. We are preparing for our next sacrament classes and want to include those who are old enough but have not yet received these sacraments.
