This Sunday’s Gospel passage is all of our vocation story. Jesus tells Simon Peter, the fisherman, after his tremendous haul of fish, you will now be catching men. All of us are called to bring others to Christ through the way we live our lives. Let us like Simon Peter no longer catch fish, but men by the convincing actions in our lives!
And now for some housekeeping:

REPEAT MESSAGES
Please text 2156503104 as an emergency notification number to OLG. This should be used if a pick-up plan changes after 2:00. Please only use this number if a last minute call to the office is not answered.
There are four dismissal lines, and each of those lines dismiss at 2:48 with the line closest to the cafeteria. I ask that you do your best to evenly fill up the four dismissal lines. The first line cannot spill onto Hulmeville Avenue and block traffic. It only slows down the dismissal process when cars all file into the first line, as opposed to evenly across all four.
I have 'Proud Home of an OLG Family' lawn signs. Please come to the office if you'd like one.
If you would like to volunteer to be a lunch mom, please reach out to Mr. Harper. You can sign-up to do one day a week or all five if your schedule allows. Please share this with grandmothers, too!
Please make sure to follow the flow of traffic during the morning carline. Please do not drop off your students on the opposite site of Woodland Avenue for everyone's safety. Also, make sure to pull-up as far as possible so the line does not back-up.
