Did you notice the new stained glass window in the church? Last week the final window
outside the daily chapel was installed - St. Marcellin Champagnat, founder of the Marist Brothers. You can learn more about him here. The window was donated by a long-time member of the OLA family in memory of his late wife.
Thank you to everyone who participated in the 24 Hours for the Lord! Almost every hour had at least 5 guardians to sit with Jesus. In a few months we will be holding 75 Hours for the Lord in honor of our 75th Anniversary - we hope you will join us. We also invite you to join us each Wednesday from 8am - 6:30pm for Adoration. Each week adoration ends with Evening Prayer and Benedication, except for the 2nd Wednesday when the Healing Rosary is prayed. Learn more at www.olachurch.org/adoration. The new window is along the inner wall of the chapel and can be seen from the chapel or the nave of the church. The other windows are St. Peter Chanel, SM - the first Marist saint - and St. Peregrine.
