We will be collecting CRS Rice Bowls at the end of Lent, Monday, March 21st & 22nd.  Thank you for using CRS Rice Bowl with your family this Lent.
4.      Family Honor, Save the date:  Family Honor's Real Love and Real Life program is scheduled for Saturday, March 19th from 8 a.m. - 4 p.m. at OLPH Parish.  Experts agree that it's the parent-child connection that matters most. Family Honor gives you the opportunity to participate with your 8th grader in a spiritually-based chastity education program delivered by a team of experienced presenters. Based on St. Pope John Paul II's Theology of the Body, the RL&RL program teaches teens how to develop as individuals and create a balance of their spiritual, physical, intellectual, creative and emotional selves as they prepare to enter High School and become young adults. It also builds family life by teaching skills in communication and anticipating and dealing with changes through fun interactive skits and games.  Parents attend with their teens at no cost with lunch and snacks included.  This program is paid for by OLPH Sugar and Spice to foster virtue in our community. Registration is required.  It is so awesome to have this program available to us.  This will be a FOCUS event for our 8th grade. Don't miss it! Contact Mrs. Morrison at pmorrison@myolph.com to register.
