Week of January 10, 2021
A NOTE FROM FR. DOOLEY
With the celebration of the Baptism of our Lord, we bring the Christmas season to a close and enter Ordinary Time. With so much going on, it's hard to feel like there's anything "ordinary" about these times we're in! But at Our Lady of Peace, we're tremendously blessed to have been able to continue our many vibrant ministries (and even add some new ones!) throughout the past year. The Holy Spirit is hard at work in our parish and school!
I've highlighted several events in this week's newsletter, but there's much more going on. Please check out our bulletin for more events and information. (The most recent bulletin can be found here: Bulletins - Our Lady of Peace - Columbus, OH (olp-parish.org)).
Highlighted in this week's newsletter:
-The 75th Anniversary Mass with Bishop Brennan (Saturday, January 16)
(RSVP by Monday, January 11!)
-That Man is You
(Men of OLP, this is for you!! New session begins January 16)
-Women's Scripture Study (Begins January 20)
Finally, I shared this in my previous newsletter, but in case you missed it, I wanted to share again. It's a New Year's message from me to you:
Looking forward to celebrating our 75th year with all of you!
Under the patronage of Our Lady of Peace,
Fr. Sean Dooley
Join us January 20, 2021 as we begin a new women's virtual Bible study:
Jesus - the Way, the Truth, and the Life
Using the four Gospels, this study is designed to help us get to know Jesus more intimately, and grasp more fully our salvation through Him. The study includes a workbook, online videos and weekly small group discussions, and is led by Dr. Marcellino D'Ambrosio, Jeff Cavins, and Dr. Edward Sri. (See trailer below.) This 10 week session will meet virtually on Wednesday evenings.
If you are interested in joining us, the next step will be to order the study set from Ascension Press: Jesus: The Way, the Truth, and the Life Study Set – Ascension (ascensionpress.com) The set is $29.95 and includes online access to the videos, a workbook, another paperback book, and a timeline chart.
There will be an informational Zoom meeting on Wednesday January 13 at 7:30pm. Click here to join the meeting https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86535783119?pwd=QkNDelF1TVFsMStQVDF0THIyYnUvUT09 You only need to attend if this is your first women's Bible study at OLP, or if you have further questions.
We're looking forward to journeying with you!
Women’s Scripture Study Mission Statement:
The purpose of the Women’s Scripture Study of Our Lady of Peace Parish is to encourage women to grow closer to Christ and His Church through the study of the Word of God. We join together on a spiritual journey to encounter Christ through study, sharing, fellowship and prayer.
Men’s Winter Program: All men of the parish are invited to join in this winter’s all new That Man is You! program entitled “All Things New”. Through this program you'll discover earth-shattering theological insights from some of the greatest theologians of our day including Dr. Scott Hahn. TMIY will enkindle in you a deep Catholic spirituality; arm you with powerful spiritual weapons; renew a profound, faithful and reverent love for the one, holy, Catholic and apostolic Church rooted in Sacred Scripture; and help you become the man your family, our Church, and our world desperately awaits.
The new series will be held online weekly on Saturday mornings beginning January 16, 2021 from 7:00-8:00 AM via Zoom.
