Father Liam will hold a meeting for all current Lectors on Wednesday evening, May 1 at 7:15 PM in the Church. The meeting will include some time for prayer and reflection on the spiritual and liturgical meaning of this ministry, as well as some practical discussion on how we can better serve God and the parish community through our efforts. More details to follow as date approaches.

After 31 years of working at OMGC (19 in the school and 12 in the parish offices), Peggy Juhline will retire in mid-April.  We thank her for the hard work, knowledge, skills, professionalism and her friendly and warm personality that she has offered all of us - parishioners, staff, and all who have reason to visit or call our parish offices. 

We wish her God's blessings, health, and long life!

The Augustinian Volunteers are recent college graduates between the ages of 21 – 29 who feel called to spend a year in service to others while living in an intentional community. Volunteers serve with local community partners in social service, campus ministry and education placements. By engaging in a way of life inspired by the Augustinian Friars, volunteers experience personal and spiritual development as they build relationships with fellow volunteers and those they serve. Applications are currently being accepted for the 2019 – 2020 volunteer year for our sites in Lawrence, MA; Philadelphia, PA; San Diego, CA; Ventura, CA and Chulucanas, Peru. If interested, please visit www.augustinianvolunteers.org or contact us at info@augustinianvolunteers.org.
