Parish School of Religion Cathechists Needed Our Parish School of Religion is in need of more Catechists (teachers) and aides for our 2021-22 PSR year. Training and classes are availible through the Department of Catholic Education and Faith Formation. No previous experience necessary. All that is needed is the love for faith and desire to share that faith with the youth of our parish. Volunteers are asked to interview with Mrs. C. C. Merritt and have Safe Enviornment Training.

Parish School of Religion Registration Our Parsh School of Religion (PSR; also known as CCD) is accepting registration for the 2021-22 school year. We are determined to meet in person beging in the Fall. Registration forms can be found on our website at https://olphbc.org/psr-registration-information and can be handed in at the parish office, in the collection basket (marked PSR att. C.C. Merritt), or maileed in.

Altar Servers All Catholic students who have received 1st Communion are invited to an Altar Server registration and training on Sunday, June 6, 2021 at 1:00 p.m. in the church. Altar Servers serve at Sunday Masses, and other special liturgies during the year. For more information you can contact Deacon Ed Merritt at [email protected] Current Altar Servers who would like a refresher are also invited to attend. If you would like to be an altar server but can’t make it to this training date please contact Deacon Ed to arrange for another training session.

On Wednesday evening at 6:00 PM in the Church, we are asking everyone who can to attend the Fair Meeting. All parents and parishioners and anyone who can contribute to the event are invited and encouraged to participate in this great fundraiser. In previous years, the annual fair has brought in over $100,000 to our parish. This adds tremendously to our budget for both the school and church. To have a successful fair, it requires many volunteers and remember--more hands means light work.
