40 Days Blessing Challenge
Have you ever really counted your blessings?  There is so much we fail to realize and appreciate in our lives.  Take this simple 40 day challenge and write one of your blessings daily.  At the end of Lent, sit down and reflect on the blessings that you have in your life. Take your top 5 and send us a video to include in our 40 day Challenge Moment that we will air during Holy Week.  Contact Matthew: musicdirector@olpchurch.com if you wish to send in a video! 

Pray The Rosary with Fr. Gary on ZOOM
Praying the Rosary, especially the Sorrowful Mysteries, is another way to become closer to Christ this Lent.  Fr. Gary gathers via ZOOM each Thursday at 6:30pm (except Holy Thursday) with others to pray.  To register, email: garychmura@gmail.com or call the Office 216-421-4211 Ext. 301.
