RCIA
Last night we welcomed our new group of "inquirers" at our wonderful, faith-filled 1st meeting.
Our next class meets on Wednesday, September 28th at 7:00pm in Stack Center, OLG Room. It's not too late to join! If you or someone you know is interested in knowing more about the Catholic faith, is seeking membership into the Church or just needs a 'refresher course', please call the Parish Office at 510-537-0806. All are welcome! Bring a friend!
ICF POLENTA FEED HAS BEEN POSTPONED
Due to unforeseen circumstances, the October 8th Polenta Feed has been postponed. More details to come.
ALTAR SERVER TRAINING
Our final Training Session is on Monday, September 26th at 3:15pm & 4:00pm for students who commute from other schools.
CONFIRMATION TEAM IS SEEKING VOLUNTEERS
Our youth Confirmation team is seeking volunteers to help serve in our high school Confirmation program this year. Volunteers are needed in two areas:
1) Joining the classes themselves, which run every other Sunday from September to May, and/or 2) Serving as mentors in Discipleship Conferences, in which volunteers meet individually with youth three times a year to encourage them in their faith as they prepare for Confirmation.
These are both great ways for parishioners to share their faith with our younger generation, and to strengthen the life of our parish for generations to come. If you are interested, please reach out to Leeanne at leeanne.thomas@olgcv.org.

BEWARE OF EMAIL SCAMS
Recently, again, there have been fraudulent emails circulating through our parish, this time using Fr. Ray's name and a fake email address seeking gift card donations. Be assured that our priests at OLG would NEVER solicit funds through any electronic means! If you do receive one of these emails and are unsure, do not open it and call the Parish Office or the School to make sure it's genuine. For your safety, please do not open these emails and report these to the police and Jay in the Parish Office at 537-0806. God Bless and be safe!
