Catholic Schools Week Dear OLPH, As we begin a week dedicated to Catholic schools, I should confess that I am a public school kid. My parents could not afford Catholic education. My first experience in a Catholic school was the University of Notre Dame as a freshman, then eventually seminary at Saint Charles in Philadelphia, and finally more graduate studies at the Catholic University of America. Yes, as my godmother is fond of reminding me: I am over-educated. So it is. Catholic education will not make your children good or successful or particularly holy. Frankly: that all begins in the home. Good homes, with God at the center, form good and holy people. In the Rite of Baptism, we pray that parents will be the first and best teachers of the Faith. Catholic education is a piece of the puzzle, as is PREP. Teachers and catechists are charged with the responsibility and privilege of assisting parents to cultivate lasting Christian values. Catholic schools excel at educating the whole person: body, mind and spirit. Our time together in the classroom grants us the freedom to integrate the Faith into the curriculum and to apply it to life. We can teach our children who the human person truly is, the importance of life lived for others, and help them see that our culture does not always support the values and priorities that lead to genuine fulfillment. All of this is possible in a Catholic school, but again, it all starts at home. At my first Mass, my dear friend and mentor quoted from Fr. James Navagh’s book Apostolic Parish. The words still ring in my ears: “A parish is not a religious service station. It is not a display room for baptisms, marriages, and funerals. It is a militant outpost of a militant church engaged in a desperate, never-ending struggle with the powers of evil....The parish is the stronghold of the Church, it is the outpost of Heaven in this world.” The Catholic School is an extension of that outpost. It is a battlement against the sea of secular tides. It is a harbor where children can learn without confusion about what is true, beautiful, and good. It is a wonderful garden where the abundant life Jesus promises flourishes. A Catholic school is an oasis of truth, beauty and goodness in a sea of secular culture, especially today. To our parishioners - thank you for supporting our Catholic School! To our parents - thank you for the honor of sharing in your familial duty to raise your children in the Faith. To any prospective school parents - we welcome the opportunity to become part of your family. To any alumni - please support our school and express your gratitude to those who made it possible for you to have a Catholic education. May God bless you! Fr. Wilson

helped make the 2018 Soup Sale

Kentucky a wonderful event.
We sent a total of $685 to them.
At this season, we send a check
to the Merry Christmas Project that provides food for
seniors & families in need and then each Parish receives
a smaller amount to further their outreach to the
community at Christmas time. Our faithful soup
makers are awesome as they provided 180 containers of
soup. Thank you for purchasing the soup and for your
loyal support to our Mission Family. We look forward
to seeing you again on March 30 & 31 in the Lenten
Season. Cooks are needed of course. Perhaps we could
see a few new faces for the Lenten Soup Sale. Blessings
of peace and safety to you and your family!

School News
Dear OLPH Families,
Catholic Schools Week is a tradition recognized
across the country to celebrate Catholic schools
and the power of integrating our faith throughout
the curriculum. The theme of Catholic Schools
Week is Catholic Schools: Learn. Serve. Lead.
Succeed. This theme encompasses the goals that
can be found in all Catholic schools, and
particularly here at OLPH. We teach our students
to become future servant leaders, faith-filled
disciples of Jesus, and productive citizens in our
communities.
We here at OLPH Church and School are blessed
to have passionate teachers, tireless support staff,
and of course, parents who have a vested interest
in their children’s academic growth and spiritual
formation. These groups are the backbone of the
school, carrying on the traditions of OLPH that
have been in place for generations.
I encourage you to visit our school during open
house, from 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM today
(Sunday, January 27) or 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM on
Thursday, January 31. If you have children in
our school you will see their classrooms and
their work. If you do not have children in our
school, come see what we have to offer. Student
ambassadors will offer tours, teachers will
speak with you about the curriculum and their
classroom procedures. Parents and staff will be
available to answer all your questions.
Registration is now open for preschool through
grade 8.
Thank you for all you do to support our school and
the children. Please continue to keep them in your
prayers.
God Bless,
Mrs. Cynthia Smith
