OLP 31 Club
Praying for vocations every day of the year!
Members of the 31 Club agree to go to daily Mass on a
particular day every month and offer that Mass for an increase
of vocations to the Church. There is a great need for vocations
in the Church today. One of the best ways to increase
vocations is through prayer, and the greatest prayer we have is
the holy sacrifice of the Mass.
Upcoming Mass commitments:
Mar. 30: Bethann D., Linda D., Julie M., James S.
Mar. 31: Rudy & Sharon W.
Apr. 1: Maxine R., Mark S., Evelyn V.
Apr. 2: Kathy W., Deacon Dennis K.
Apr. 3: Sister Peggy, Linda D., Wilma M., Virginia S.
Apr. 4: Arlene B., Connie F.
Apr. 5: Ed B., Joyce K.
If you would like to join the OLP 31 Club, please call Dave or
Kathy Wayman at 454-8974. There are no dues and no
meetings, only opportunities for grace and the satisfaction that
comes from helping to fulfill a great need in the Church.
First Friday Adoration
Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament will take
place on Friday, April 4th, from 7:30AM to
3:00PM, in Mary’s Chapel.
Our Lord Jesus welcomes you to spend time
with Him, meditating on the final events of His
earthly life.
Needless to say, His outpouring of love and
grace will be yours in His holy presence.
God bless you!

Online Safety Tips for Parents & Kids
Chat rooms can be a treacherous place and parents
need to talk to their children about the potential
dangers. Children ‘meet’ new friends virtually but in
the virtual world you never really know
who you are talking to. Sometimes these
‘friends’ are adults trying to gain the
friendship and trust of children and
youth. Continual monitoring of children’s
participation in chat rooms is required to keep
children safe!
To see what the Diocese of Erie is doing to keep
children and youth safe, check out:

FOURTH SUNDAY OF LENT
MARCH 30, 2014
OLP Monthly Parish Project Day
CRS Rice Bowl brings Lent to life.
CRS Rice Bowl is a Lenten faith formation program that helps us to
live in solidarity with the poor and vulnerable around the world.
We pray to reflect on what type of person we are called to be.
We fast to remove the things that get between us and God, and to
remember those without enough to eat.
We give to honor Jesus’ call to serve those in need.
CRS Rice Bowl Reflection: Malawi
This week, CRS Rice Bowl invites us
to enter into solidarity with the people
of Malawi. We are encouraged to
reflect on the Catholic social teaching
principle, Dignity of Work and Rights of
Workers, and reminded that, just as He
labored to create the universe, God
sanctifies and calls us to work. Let us
pray this week for our brothers and sisters in Malawi and all around
the world, that we work with joy for God’s greater glory.

The Knights of Columbus “Parish Project Day” for
March will be on Saturday, April 12th, starting with
a Mass at 8:00AM, followed by a continental
breakfast by the Rosary Society, and then project
work from 9:00AM until noon.
The projects for the this work day will be outside
spring cleaning, and various painting jobs.
There is a need for more volunteers, especially
younger adults, to help. This is a great opportunity
for students over 16 years of age, who are looking
for service hours. The work is not difficult, and the
fellowship is great. Since it is painting, wear old
clothes. In addition, we are saving the parish a
considerable amount of money for labor. The
parents of students are always welcome.
Stop by and lend a hand.
More info: call Len Kuzma, 474-2031.
A Family Perspective
Failure to forgive blinds us to another’s
goodness. Lent provides an opportunity to
wash away our blind-spots in the pool of
forgiveness. Listen to Jesus in today’s gospel:
“Go wash and see.”

2014 Catholic Services Appeal (CSA)
We are asking that everyone contribute something to this
years’ campaign. Our ideal goal would be that we hear
from every family whether they can give a gift or not.
Our secondary goal is to hear from 800 families which
would be about 30% of families. Last year we had
heard from only 550 families.
Won’t you please take the time to use the envelope,
return it to us with your intention to help us reach our goal
of raising $60,000? Once we reach that goal we can
proceed with continued plans for new carpeting in the
church.
As of this printing we have heard from 524 families.
We hope to hear from at least 800.
Let’s hear from you this week!
Thank you to those who have already pledged!
