Peace! We had a great summer here at Our Lady of the Angels, and are now preparing for many exciting events this Fall!
- The Oak Park Symphony Orchestra will play a lovely concert for our neighbors on Sunday September 23rd.
- Team OLA will take on the Chicago Marathon Course Sunday October 7th! We have 40 people running this year, including Sr. Stephanie and Fr. Steve, Dcn. Scott and many other seminarians and friends of the Mission!
- November 17th will be our VERY FIRST Thanksgiving Event at the Mission! We plan to host a Thanksgiving Prayer Service in the Church, followed by a nice breakfast and Turkey Give-Away!
And . . . a very beautiful milestone in our community’s history will take place in October! Sr. Kate and Sr. Alicia will profess first vows as Franciscans of Eucharist! We are very grateful for the tremendous outpouring of support from countless men and women, priests and seminarians and religious brothers and sisters and of course Francis Cardinal George, Archbishop of Chicago.
We are currently preparing version 2.0 of our website, so stay tuned for a more dynamic, navigable site soon! Please keep Sr. Kate and Sr. Alicia in your prayers in these days leading up to vows, and please also pray for Cardinal George, who is currently undergoing treatments for cancer. God bless and keep you!
