Prayer for Catholic Graduates
Inside this issue:
Lord Jesus, you have said that your followers must be
the light to the world.
Light propagates itself, dispels darkness.
It sows rays of joy and hope. It is life giving.
Help me, Lord, to be a light to this world,
so that my life radiates your message of
love, hope, and joy.
May I be the beacon leading to You those who seek truth.
Amen.

Dear OLG Families,

Yearbook Orders
The Class of 2016 will be graduating tomorrow night. While small
in number, they have made their mark upon us. Their younger faith
family members look upon them with great fondness. You should
have seen the faces of the little ones as their 8th grader processed in
today for the Graduation Mass! Their teachers, who have poured
great energy into bringing the best out of these young men and
women, smiled with much gratitude that their efforts have been
fruitful! Of course, the parents and grandparents of these students
beamed with great pride as their babies took their graduating places
in the front.

Thank you, our good and gracious God, for this wonderful
experience of endings and beginnings. We send our young women
and men away from OLG and on to high school confident that your
light will continue to shine in their lives.
With much gratitude for the Class of 2016,
S. Janice Therese, O.P.
