It’s time for the annual Pancake Breakfast hosted by the OLG Second Graders and their families!
Come hungry for all you can eat pancakes and sausages. Pre-pay to avoid a line, but credit, cash and check (made out to OLG) will be accepted at the door. The cost is $10/plate. Students who attend dressed in the OLG school uniform will receive a NUD.
Why does Pope Francis say that a good Catholic “meddles” in politics? Why does he call it one of the highest forms of charity? What does the Church mean when she calls us to be “faithful citizens”? And what about the separation of church and state? Jason Adkins’ presentation will offer a brief introduction about what politics is and is not, and why our participation in social and political life is a call of discipleship and, for some, a particular calling, or vocation. He will share why it matters to participate, how we do so effectively, and the toolbox of principles (Catholic Social Teaching) that we bring into public life to build a civilization of love.
Jason Adkins is the executive director of the Minnesota Catholic Conference, the public policy voice of the Catholic Church in Minnesota, which serves to uphold life, dignity, and the common good.
Our Lunch and Learn is free, and RSVP's are encouraged to the Parish Office at 952-929-3317.

Are you called to start a small group? Maybe there's not a small group happening when it's convenient for you, or perhaps you feel called to help others (yourself included) get to know and love Jesus better in a small group setting. If so, New Leaders Training will be available starting September, as well as in January/February. Contact Jessica (x9308) or Tyler (x9300) in the Parish Office for more information or to register for training
OLG Small Groups draw adults into transformative friendships with Jesus and one another. They gather in groups of 6-12 people, for 90 minutes, with the ongoing pace set by the group. We gather each session for relational connection, to grow in our faith together, and learn to pray with and for one another.
If you’re interested in joining a group instead of leading, take a look at our Small Group Finder to find an OLG Small Group with open spots. If you don’t find what you’re looking for, new groups will be launching in October after Group Leaders Training.
Join us at OLG Gym on Sundays at 6:00 - 8:00 PM. All skill levels are welcome. $32/person.
Fall Dates: September 15, September 22, October 6, October 13, October 20, October 27, November 3 and November 10

The 55+ Driver Discount course, hosted at OLG, is a state-approved accident prevention/insurance course taught by a certified instructor from Precision Driving Center. By utilizing the most up-to-date research in the field, participants will be provided the latest information regarding driver and traffic safety, new laws and road designs, and vehicle technology. Participants 55 years and older who complete the course qualify for a 10% discount on their auto insurance premiums for three years, according to Minnesota statue 65.b28. There is no longer a requirement for an initial 8-hour course: this single 4-hour class will qualify you for the discount.
