October 12, 2014 28th Sunday in Ordinary Time Fr. Woody McCallister and Deacon Tim Shamrell welcome you! 360-695-1366 www.ollparish.org Vancouver, Washington “When you invest in Catholic education, you invest in the lives of a lot of people…you invest in the students, but more importantly, the people whose lives they will touch and change.” Scholarships - Greatest Needs - Endowment Ron Edwards, Principal and Chemistry Teacher, Pope John Paul II High School If you visit Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School on any school day, you will find yourself in a happy, safe, and healthy environment, filled with children who are respectful, full of curiosity, and eager to learn! You will see students who are actively building a personal relationship with Jesus Christ as they learn about our Catholic faith through prayer, attending mass, and serving those in need. You will see the students who will grow up to become parents, church leaders, teachers, businessmen and women, professionals, politicians, and more. You will see the very people that will be educating the minds, hearts and spirits of the generations to follow. As Catholic educators, parents, and parish members, all of us have a hand in ensuring that every child has the foundation they need to learn and to live their lives in faith and service. After all, if not us, then who? Today and everyday, we have an opportunity to help parents provide a Lourdes Catholic education for their children by giving to the Angels for Education Annual Campaign. We can choose to donate to scholarship funds that provide annual tuition assistance, to the endowment fund we are building for the future, or to the Lourdes Fund, which will allow the school to use our donations where needed most. IT IS EASY TO GIVE! Supporting the Angels for Education Campaign is easy with online giving! Regular giving is easy when you give online through www.lourdesvan.org. Just click the DONATE button at the top of our homepage and follow the prompts! Thank you for supporting students at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School! 2014 Jog-A-Thon - Students are already giving to the next generation as they run to build the School Endowment Fund!
