Pope Francis has encouraged us to Care for God’s Creation in many ways including recycling. While OLOR Parish is committed to recycling as a means of taking care of our environment, we have made the decision to remove the recycling bins for newspaper and aluminum cans. We sincerely hope that everyone will continue to Care for God’s Creation through recycling. If your waste carrier does not offer recycling pick up, please be aware that the Library, just a half mile north of OLOR Church, offers recycling bins for your use.
Bins will be removed August 30 th , 2018.

To know we are children of God is to live in complete love, with deep abiding security and the ability to dream, to sing, to create, to laugh and to pray without worry. As we grow older, we face a new reality - we cannot approach all God's creation with the same trust and confidence.We learn, through sometimes hurtful and damaging experiences, that some people reject the ability that God gave them to love and respect others - they ignore God's call. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops call to safeguard children helps remind us of these very facts. With the help of USCCB, the faithful are guided and educated about their responsibility to keep God's children safe and protected. To learn more click on the title.
