Please join us for an Evening of Reflection for Young Adults on Wednesday, October 27, at the OLG Parish Center from 6:30 to 9:30 PM, with pizza beforehand at 6 PM.  The topic is “Faith in the time of Covid.”

The last 18 months have upended all of our lives. We’ve gone through isolation, fear, loss, and a reevaluation of how we work, how we gather, and how we interact. We've also learned to value things we took for granted in the past. But what role has the pandemic had on your faith life? Spend some time in community with other young adults reflecting on what lessons you may have learned through this time, how your relationship with God has changed and grown, and where God may be calling you as we move into the future.

There is no fee for the retreat, but you must register by emailing Andy Fellows, our Pastoral Associate, at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
