Hello Friends -

On the OLP Pray for Priests Calendar, today is my day! I am so grateful for the prayers. I've gotten many comments from my brother priests expressing their gratitude for this initiative. If you want to offer a daily prayer for the priests and seminarians of our diocese, you can find the December calendar below.

We opened our brand-new accessibility ramp last week, and I wanted to share the video with everyone. (See below.) It was an exciting and emotional day, and words cannot adequately express my gratitude to all who made it possible.

Our Parish Penance Service is next Thursday, December 15 at 7:00pm. There will be several priests present to hear confessions. Please take advantage of the beautiful gift of Reconciliation! Thursday Adoration will end at 6:30pm that day to give us time to set up for the Penance Service. To help you prepare to make a good and thorough Confession, an Examination of Conscience can be a very helpful tool. You'll find one on our parish website by clicking here: Examination of Conscience - Our Lady of Peace Catholic Church - Columbus, OH (olp-parish.org).

Sr. Sheena, the most recent FIH addition to our OLP family, will be working at Our Lady of Bethlehem preschool. She is in need of a ride every morning from the convent to OLB (4567 Olentangy River Road) at 9:45am. If you're able to help occasionally, please sign up here: Our Lady of Bethlehem School and Childcare: Transportation for Sr. Sheena Marie (signupgenius.com)

Finally, Monday, December 12 is the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. I will be celebrating Mass at 8:30am. All are welcome to attend.

I'll see you at Mass this weekend for the 3rd Sunday of Advent!

Under the protection of Our Lady of Peace,

Fr. Dooley
