Mark your calendars! The Third Annual OLOL Athletic Association Mexican Fiesta is Saturday, May 10, 2025!  Click the link below or the image to register and see the flyer image for details.

Stations will be held in the church on the following Thursdays during Lent at 7:00 PM:

March 13, 20, 27 
April 3, 10

Our deacons will lead the service and the prayers will be accompanied by organ.

Join us for a Lenten Bible study led by Deacon Stephen Fahrig, in which we will look at the Scripture readings for the coming Sunday’s Mass. 

The Bible study will meet on Wednesdays from 7-8 pm in the Commons, beginning Wednesday, March 12.

If you receive a text, email or phone call from someone claiming to be Fr. Bené or our other clergy, asking 'for a favor' or 'in need of gift cards for an emergency', please know this is a SCAM! Please do not respond or engage. None of our priests, deacons, or staff would ever contact you in that manner. Thank you!

In most cases, the scam is phishing - the scammers do not actually have access to a real account belonging to the priest, but have created another email address and have written his name on it. The real accounts have not been hacked, the priest's identity is simply being impersonated and the scammers are trying to get you to engage with them.

This year's Lourdes men's White House Retreat is planned for May 1 to May 4th, 2025. The White House Retreat is based on the Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius.  Experience three days of rest, relaxation, thoughtful prayer and time away from it all with God. The weekend retreat begins with dinner at 6:30 pm Thursday and ends Sunday following lunch.

If you would like to join us on retreat this year, please contact Jim Schulz OLOL retreat Captain at 314-807-3474 or [email protected]

All women of the parish are invited to participate in a five week book study this spring.
