Dear OLGC Families,

It is with great excitement that I share with you OLGC Parish School has been awarded $24,995.00 from the Michigan State Police Competitive School Safety Grant. There were more than 400 total applications submitted this year. We are blessed to be among the 188 selected to receive awards. Student safety is our top priority at OLGC Parish School. We will be able to use the grant funds to purchase a new PA system to increase student safety for our school. Our school safety committee will work with our parish operations team to install a quality system. As Christian educators, we are entrusted with God’s children in our school each day and it is important that they remain safe in our care. Thank you to Mrs. Fitch and our school safety committee for the hard work in completing the grant. This is a testament to our staff’s dedication to teaching students the love of Christ and keeping them safe. In Christ,Melissa Hunt, Principal

Lighting the Flame Sacramental NewsWe are so blessed at OLGC! This is the group of 3rd and 4th grade students who lead the Divine Mercy chaplet after every division Mass. One class stays each week to pray it and parents are WECOME TO ATTEND!

Each month we practice together, and they share intentions with one another. They love writing the announcement over the PA to remind each other to come pray. This week, after praying the

chaplet together, they gathered for a praise and worship session. It was so beautiful hearing them joined together glorifying Jesus. A special thank you to Mrs. Gendron who built a love for the worship song "I trust in you" by Lauren Daigle which was the requested worship song. What a perfect song to worship with after saying a prayer that reminds us to trust in God and be quick to turn to His divine mercy. Find more
