Dear Faith Formation Families,
Well Happy St.Patrick’s day everyone! This Newsletter is later than normal, my sincerest apologies! You will notice I do not have a video today as I struggled with faulty uploads with a network today. In the interest of time, I want to send this out, even if it’s without the video. I May have had no luck with technology today, but our gathering space at OLQP is ready for you to try your with games and family fun! Tonight is the long awaited, St.Patrick Parable Putt putt pizza party for those signed up for that!
We have a little lighter schedule this week, so I hope you all have a chance to relax and enjoy! We are already to our fourth week of our Lenten journey. In fact, the parish Lenten retreat begins this week at OLQP and STM. Check out the bulletin or our website for more information, you are all welcome to attend!
See you all soon!
May the Father, Son and Holy Spirit bless and keep you this St.Patrick’s day!
Jennifer Abdalla
Director of Faith Formation
