Have you noticed a new and fresh spirit in our parish in recent months?  Fr. Dan has encouraged us to reach out more, not only to each other, but also to guests and visitors. You might have noticed welcome bags for visitors in the vestibule of church and a weekly thought in the bulletin regarding the importance of hospitality.  We are also contacting everyone personally who registers at OLPS and presenting them with a welcome gift from the parish, along with an updated booklet with all parish ministries, organizations, programs and services with contact numbers. Come join us at our new upcoming Hospitality Sunday for guests and parishioners on November 5^th!  We hope everyone will join in this effort to become a more welcoming community.  If you would like to help, please contact Jordan LaCour at jordan.lacour@olpschurch.org.
