Operation Christmas Child a huge parish success!

As a parish we donated over 100 boxes to the Operation Christmas Child program this year. That means that OLV is helping over a 100 children have a brighter Christmas.
We had a great youth turnout last night at Cornerstone Baptist helping to pack boxes and do odd jobs.
We have a group of about 10 people going to Timberline Church in Fort Collins on November 21 from 11 am - 2 pm to continue helping with this program as well.
Thanks again for all who have helped this program in one way or another. You are truly helping to spread Christ's love throughout the world.

Peace and have a Happy Thanksgiving,
Mandy Pittman (on behalf of the Youth Ministry Program)

Fundraiser Dinner a great success!


A big thank you to everyone who helped with the fundraiser dinner on November 1! We could not have done this event without you. And a huge thank you to the OLV Parish because without you we would have had no one to serve our delicious food to. We had about 85 people attend and raised money that will be very helpful for youth events. Our next dinner will be in January and we will be serving soup. More details to come.


Also on November 1, we had our first Sunday night youth group for high school students. We had a great turn out and our college student speakers did a great job! Our next Sunday night youth group for high school students will be on December 6.
