First, the two-part Spiritual Gifts Workshop starts this Wednesday, Sept 13 at 7PM in the Fallon Center. Why should you care, you ask? Well, our spiritual gifts are from God. He has a specific reason they are distributed the way they are. That should be reason enough to make sure we know what He has invested in each of us. And, we'll be looking at opportunities to use those gifts the way He wants. Join us and bring someone. Call the parish office at 919.861.4600 to register. (It's free)
Second, we have a big-time picnic coming up this Sunday, Sept 17 at 1PM in Pullen Park. OLL Annual Parish and School Picnic. Rides, food, games and fellowship. Kids, seniors and everyone in between. PRESS HERE for details.

The day started when the OLL Knights of Columbus cooked and served a pancake breakfast for over 300 people in the Fallon Center! Many others went directly to their ministry sites. Jennifer Williams, OLL Stewardship Chair and coordinator of 1DayForHim, reported that almost 400 had registered for one or more ministries.
Jennifer got us started then Father Burch blessed us and the food. After breakfast, we were off and running by 9AM.

(Below) Some parishioners helped clean up and then worked with Mary Dudas, the Fallon Center Director (in the red hat), on the Fallon Center storage.
After breakfast a large group drove to St. Catherine of Siena Parish in Wake Forest to participate in the Brown Bag Ministry. The following article and photos below were provided by OLL Parishioners, Bill and Diane MacKrell.
"Our volunteers are making sandwiches to feed people at a local subsidized apartment complex. Their goal is to prepare 300 sandwiches plus pack fruit, crackers and sweets. Members will later go door-to-door, delivering sandwiches to people who need a good meal.
Brown Bag Ministry has a local focus and is active throughout the year. This is an excellent ministry for families with children to perform together. It’s a great way to give back to the community for both children and adults.
