Kickoff to Catholic Schools Week

Catholic Schools Week is a national celebration of Catholic education in the United States that recognizes the unique opportunity of Catholic education. The theme for the week is Catholic Schools: United in Faith and Community. The official start of Catholic Schools week begins on Sunday, January 26 through Saturday, February 1.

This year, we are kicking off the week of events on Saturday, January 25 with the Annual Family Dance. Bring the entire family! Fun for all ages! Please RSVP; see the Lourdes Letter for more information.

On Sunday, we celebrate the day with mass at 8:15AM at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church. We celebrate and thank our parishioners for all that they do to support Catholic education! Students have an opportunity to assist with the mass as altar servers, readers and choir members. Signup today! Please refer to the Lourdes Letter for the signup link and latest information.

 Following the 8:15AM mass, we are hosting a Kid’s Cookie Baking Contest in the Fr. Kratz Social Hall. Students who enter will be showcasing their favorite cookie for judging. We have three celebrity teacher judges and everyone who visits the social hall will have an opportunity to vote for one of the entries! Students, please submit your entry to reserve a spot at the Kid’s Cookie Baking Contest!

Outstanding Volunteer at OLOL

GRACE is honored to recognize Outstanding Volunteer, Christina Spierings. Christina was presented with this award at a Mass on November 13th.

Christina is the proud mother of six children, four of whom attend Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School. In addition to raising her children, she volunteers for her school in two important roles: Christina is a co-chair of their Site Advisory Committee, providing foundational organization and leadership to the council. Christina is also the co-chair of their largest fundraiser of the year, Light Up Lourdes, coordinating and managing the event with a sub-committee of co-chairs.

Before starting her family, Christina was an elementary teacher. She draws on this valuable history to flourish in her volunteer roles.

If asked about this award, Christina would reply that she doesn’t deserve it! She feels she is just helping her school. Our Lady of Lourdes is a better place in part due to the commitment shown by Christina Spierings.

Blessed Blend

It is with great excitement that a new church choir, Blessed Blend, was introduced at the Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church 8:15AM mass on Sunday, November 3.

This choir is a group of God’s friends, who became friends from our school and parish communities. They answered the call to share their time and musical talents and formed Blessed Blend choir.

We are proud of these individuals and their families for the beautiful music they shared … Albers, Baudhuin, Harper, Zwiefelhofer, Gale, Grall, Van Boxel, Eckert and Healy. Are you interested in sharing your musical talents with these families? Please contact them, all are welcome!
