The second annual Young Professionals' Friendsgiving will be held at OLG again this year. Get ready for a Thanksgiving feast featuring... prime rib! We'll also have chicken (no turkey this year), dinner rolls, salad, mashed potatoes with gravy, pie, and more. The cost to attend is $20. With 60 total spots available, be sure to secure yours today.
There is a refreshment, a peace, a recentering on Jesus that oftentimes is experienced by those on a retreat. If you have never been on a retreat, have not been on a retreat for some time (over a year), or even if you were on our most recent retreat, we would love for you to join us.
Regardless of what life is feeling like right now, an annual retreat is a must for every Catholic. We step away from the pace of life to breathe. We take time to be intentional with the Lord and to hear His still, small voice in the silence. We have the opportunity to commit or recommit to living an intentional and abundant life in Christ. As Saint Paul writes, “And my God will fully satisfy every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus” (Ephesians 4:19). God is the answer to our desires. May we open up our hearts to the full and lasting satisfaction that can come from God alone.
We will be heading about an hour away to the beautiful Dunrovin Retreat Center, located north of Stillwater. 50 acres of the natural outdoors—a gorgeous woods for walking and simply being out in nature with the St. Croix River right there to remind us of the beauty of God’s creation.
Registration is full for this event.
Great news! The Catholic Community Foundation (CCF) has awarded Our Lady of Grace a grant in the amount of $2,000 to support the Young Professionals Fall Retreat! Grants like this help keep the cost of retreats and other programs affordable for the members of our Young Professionals ministry. Thank you, CCF!
Calling all current and potential ushers! We will be hosting a comprehensive usher training session and happy hour. This 30-minute training session is designed to equip you with the skills and knowledge necessary to provide excellent service during the weekend masses. We will cover key responsibilities, protocols, and tips for enhancing the mass experience. After the training, join us for a happy hour, where you can relax, mingle with fellow ushers, and enjoy refreshments. It's a great opportunity to build camaraderie and celebrate your commitment to OLG!
Alpha is a series for our OLG Young Professionals that combines dinner, a video sharing a message from the Gospel, and open table conversation with other participants. We’ll talk through questions such as “Is there more to life than this?”, “Who is Jesus?”, “How does God guide us?” and more. If you are looking to grow closer to Jesus this Lent, this series is for you. If faith isn’t a big part of your life but you are interested to hear more and share your thoughts in an open environment, this series is for you. Wherever you are at, we invite you to join us.
Alpha kicks off on Sunday, February 18 and runs until the final Sunday of Lent, March 24. We will be together from 6:00 - 7:40 PM at Our Lady of Grace. As mentioned previously, dinner is provided, so no need to stress about your Sunday dinner plans – we’ve got you covered.
The cost is $30, which covers food and materials. Registration is currently closed for this series.
The series will culminate with a retreat on Saturday, April 13. Location TBD.
