SCHOOL NEWS:  Virtus Training, Work Day Nature's Place and Red Mass

1.   Virtus Training--The Diocese of Knoxville will be auditing our records to be sure all volunteers are properly trained and background checked. If you still need to complete your training, you may sign up for the one-time, three hour class by going to www.virtus.org and searching on “Knoxville (Diocese).” You may attend any class listed that is convenient to you.  The next Virtus Class scheduled on our campus will be:  Monday, August 7 at 6PM in the PLC. If you attend a class at another location, please check with Cissy West to be sure you have completed all the necessary paperwork. If you attend class here, Donna Jones will provide you with all the paperwork we will need.

3.      Red Mass - One of many traditions we have at OLPH is the celebration of The Red Mass as we begin each academic school year.  The! Red Mass is a historical tradition within the Catholic Church dating back to the thirteenth century.  Our purpose for the celebration of this mass is praying for the gifts of the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts, hallways, and classrooms throughout the school year.  Each student from Pre-K to 8^th grade is asked to wear an appropriate red top with their Friday uniform bottoms and shoes.  The faculty and staff will participate; you may also join us in mass with a red top. The color red is used to signify action, fire, charity, spiritual awakening in the Christian symbolism; it denotes the Holy Spirit.
