We are currently seeking anyone in our parish community that is crafty/artistic.  Many wonderful projects could be completed in our Faith Formation Building in order to make it more welcoming. Please contact me at the parish office if you have time and talent to help with this.

Our Elementary Religious Education program (PATH) serves approximately 160 children in our parishes from Kindergarten to 5th grade, and we are currently supporting 35 children who are preparing for their First Sacraments.

The Religious Education program is now a two-year program for Sacrament Preparation in order to be in compliance with the Archdiocesan policy.

Also..
Only 25 students will be allowed in a classroom this year.  This will allow for smaller class sizes.  Last year, many of our classes had more than thirty students, and our catechists and budgets are being stretched to their limits.  In order to reconfigure this balance we need to set-up this new policy.

Our RCIA program supports adults preparing for Confirmation and the Sacraments of Initiation into the Church.

Every summer our Vacation Bible School (VBS) provides fun for an average of 150 children from preschool through 5th grade.

Our Parish Advent Fair which supplies countless parishioners with Advent Wreaths and other Advent and Christmas crafts will be held Wednesday, November 16 at 7p.m. in the Faith Formation Building.

In addition to our Elementary Religious Education and RCIA programs, we offer adults in our parish many other exciting educational opportunities:
  • Bible Study offered on Wednesday and Sunday
  • English Language Learning classes on Wednesday
  • St. Anne's Family Library
  • St. Luke Productions Dramas
  • Speakers, such as Mark Shea
  • Bible Study Materials for Group or Individual Study, available in the Parish Office.
Our countless and dedicated volunteers serve to bring rich benefits for our whole community.

Please see the Youth Ministry website for their programs. www.ic-olph.org/youth
