Family Faith Formation

Advent Adventure

   When is the last time you had couples time or time to shop without the kiddos? We have a solution for you to be able to enjoy one or both of those activities! Join us for 5:00 Mass on Saturday, December 9 as a family and then leave your kindergarten—high school seniors with us until 9:00 to prepare for the upcoming birth of the Christ child. We will feed them followed by attending stations where they will make some Advent/Christmas crafts, receive a visit from St. Nicholas, and wind down with a movie. Fifth—twelfth graders will help the younger children by leading them from station to station, or leading a station themselves. Please RSVP with name and grade level to (816) 210-8223 or michele@ourladylakeozark.org As Soon As Possible.

Parish Mission

   We are not done yet! Sounds intriguing doesn’t it? That is our theme for the Parish Mission that begins during regular Masses on Saturday, December 9 &10. Then from Monday, December 11—Wednesday, December 13 the Mission will be held during Mass at 7:00pm. Refreshments will be served afterward.

  I realize that I can take comfort in knowing that I’m “not done yet”. This gives me hope that I can work through some of the messiness of my life in order to be closer to our Lord! Please plan to join us as a family.
