CEMETERY LIGHTS: Like last year, the school
children will be placing the lights (tea lights) on all the stone markers in
the cemetery on the eve of All Saints (Halloween), to stay lit through All
Souls. FATHER ALEX WILL LEAD THE PROCESSION TO THE CEMETARY, WITH THE LITANY OF
THE SAINTS, AFTER MASS ON WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 31, ALL ARE INVITED TO JOIN US.! This
activity goes back to a tradition originating in Germany where people lit
candles and placed them on the graves of their loved ones, letting them burn
throughout the night before All Saints, representing the “light of the holy
souls”. We do this entirely through donated funds. This is a great way to honor
those you love who have passed away. Any donation is needed and appreciated. You
may send your donation to school in an envelope marked “Cemetery Lights”, or
place in the Sunday collection. Thanks for any help you can give to this
project. (Last year, if you saw this on the night of Halloween, you know what a
spectacular sight it was. We received many positive comments from the
community!)
HOME & SCHOOL MEETING: The first Home
& School meeting will be Tuesday, October 23rd at 6:30. Fr. Alex
wishes to address ALL SCHOOL PARENTS at the first H & S meeting. Please make
plans now to attend this mandatory meeting. THERE WILL NOT BE A POTLUCK DINNER
– JUST THE MEETING.
GERBES:
OLOS is enrolled in the Gerbes “Community Rewards” program. This program
offers money back to our school, based on enrolled customer’s spending. It is a
really easy process. You just tie your Gerbes shopper’s card to our school
account. If you don’t have a Gerbes shopper’s card, it takes less than a minute
to get one at the store and also online. All the information needed to complete
this process is online. @ www.gerbes.com/communityrewards.
Our school code is 48253. It takes
just a couple minutes so get all your family and friends to register as well!
The school will receive quarterly payments in cash form. We will update you as
we receive those funds. This has the potential to be a huge moneymaker for the
school – the key is to get many, many people involved. Please pass the word to
family and friends and thanks for supporting OLOS School
