Holy Mary, Mother of God pray for us sinners now

May 6, 2015
Dear Parents,
The month of May is dedicated to Mary, Our Blessed Mother. The Catholic Church reminds us
to think and to speak in a special way to Our Blessed Mother during May. The month of May is a
spiritual invitation for us to open our hearts to Mary. Our Catholic faith sees Mary as a sign of
God's love. Mary tells us about the security, depth and warmth of God’s love for us. Please
take the time to spend time with Mary, Our blessed Mother through prayer, rosary, or
researching her appearances worldwide. Mary is waiting to hear from us.
The “Crowning of Mary” will be held on Thursday, May 14th. Students are encouraged to bring
fresh cut flowers to their classrooms in the morning and the flowers will be put into
arrangements for the May Crowning. The students will crown our Blessed Mother immediately
following the 8:30 A.M. Mass. Please join us in this special celebration for Mary.
Holy Mary, Mother of God pray for us sinners now and at the hour
of our death
PLEASE PRAY FOR
OLQA School Community and in thanksgiving for the safe return of our Eighth Graders and
chaperones.

FIVE ON FIVE
Yesterday, our five brave faculty members and five (at a time) fantastic sixth graders
participated in a 5 on 5 basketball game during the last period of the school day. This fun event
was a gift from the Saedi family that was purchased at the Auction. Tons of fun and school
spirit was evident during the challenge. We can’t wait until next year!!
