OLR Youth will be collecting NEW SOCKS, all sizes and gender, during the month of October. The drive will end Sunday, October 26. This year
sock donations will go to the Crisis Ministry for the homeless. Because our space is limited, PLEASE BRING NEW SOCKS ONLY to Rosary Hall. Collection bins will be available. Thank you for joining our Society of St. Vincent de Paul
Youth Conference in reaching out to those in need.

The Evangelization Commission is sponsoring a fall discussion group to explore the value of our faith through the video series of Jesus and the Dead Sea Scrolls. This series is based on the book Jesus and the Dead Sea Scrolls by Dr. John Bergsma where he uses the scrolls as a window to bring new light to Jesus and the Jewish life, to help us reimagine the history of our faith, and to resurrect its value in our lives.

The 8-week series began the week of September 8, but you can join anytime. Participants have a choice to attend in person on Mondays in Rosary Hall from 11:00 am – noon or by Zoom on Wednesday evenings from 7:00 – 7:40 pm. Please email evangelization4olr@gmail.com for more information.

This is a program for adults and young adults who want to join the Catholic church. This program covers an extensive study of Salvation History, as well as preparation for the sacraments of Reconciliation, First Holy Communion, and Confirmation. Weekly attendance is required. Please contact the office to register.

CHARLOTTE — Faithful across the Diocese of Charlotte gathered on Oct. 6 to kick-off Respect Life Month and form Life Chains as a public witness to the dignity of all human life.

As Catholics, we are called to cherish, defend, and protect those who are most vulnerable, from the beginning of life to its end, and at every point in between. During the month of October, the Church asks us to reflect more deeply on the dignity and gift of every human life.

You can also join in Respect Life Month by praying a novena starting Oct. 22. Download the novena or sign up to get the daily prayers by email or text message here. 

If your child will be starting first grade in the
2025-2026 school year, it is time to register them

You can come by
the church office on Tuesdays and/or Thursdays,
from 10 am-3:00 pm to register them. *Please
bring a copy of your child’s Birth Certificate and
Baptismal certificate for registration.

First Communion will be held on May 17 at 10:00 AM.
