“Let’s go and invent tomorrow instead of worrying about what happened yesterday” Steve Jobs. Regardless which profession our students choose, technology will be involved. This revolution is here to stay, and at OLGC School, we are training our students to be proficient, forward thinking and ethical users of information technology. Thanks to the continued support of our OLGC parishioners, 61 Chromebook devices and 16 teacher laptops were purchased at the beginning of this school year. Teachers now have the devices necessary to connect quickly to Promethean Boards, grade assignments on Google Classrooms and correspond quickly and securely with parents and students regarding academic and social progress. As our lives get busier, this improvement in communication assists all partners in the education of our students.
Perpetual Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament Ministry is the MOST rewarding of all! One gets to spend precious quality time with Our Lord Jesus Christ – present in Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity in the Adoration Chapel which is open 24/7 and welcomed to everyone!

Extraordinary Ministers also bring the sacrament to those who are sick and homebound. In this way those who are unable to participate in Sunday Mass with the entire assembly can still share in the communion of sacrament and friendship. If you feel a calling to this ministry, please sign up. We need 7 extraordinary ministers per Mass. The qualifications are, (1) a registered member of the parish and in good standing. (2) complete an application form and commit to the requirements of the ministry guidelines. (3) be interviewed by the Pastor and be approved by him.
