News - Peace Garden & Labyrinth

A big thanks to all who participated in the Rice Bowl program this year! As a community we raised over $5800! Thanks to your kindness we have touched the lives of the people served by Catholic Relief Services (CRS), the official international humanitarian assistance program of the Catholic Church. Seventy-five percent of donations goes to CRS’s work in 100+ countries while twenty-five percent stays in Western Washington to help fund local hunger-alleviation efforts (OLG received grants for both the Peace Garden and St. Vincent de Paul).

Get some fresh air and exercise by helping out with Day of Service projects that were cancelled on the OLG campus. Help get our gardens ready to grow fresh fruits and veggies for the West Seattle Food Bank by weeding, spreading mulch, pruning, etc. Click above to sign up.

Thanks to all who participated in the Catholic Relief Services Rice Bowl Lenten program this year by giving alms throughout the season. We are happy to announce that we raised $5413.72, which represents a 12% increase over last year and our biggest collection to date! Thank you for your generosity to our global family. A special thanks to the Knights of Columbus for their support and donation, to our CRS Ambassadors, and our faithful counters!

Join our faith community – and more than 14,000 Catholic communities across the United States – in a life-changing Lenten journey of encounter with Catholic Relief Services Rice Bowl. Get your Rice Bowl at any of the Ash Wednesday services, in the school, or in the parish office. During the 40 days of Lent, we will encounter the needs of the world.
