Catholic Advocacy Day: Register by January 18
Proclaim Justice and Life for All
Join OLG staff and parishioners, and thousands of Catholics from across the state on Monday, February 8th as we take a message of compassion and justice to Olympia. The day will include Mass, legislative briefings and meetings with legislators. Our advocacy will include a variety of legislative priorities, based on Catholic Teaching and the current bills before the legislature. Possible issues include: economic justice, housing, mental health services, immigrant and refugee services, and the death penalty. Advocacy can be intimidating but it’s an important part of living out our faith and this is a well-organized event designed to help first-time advocates learn the ropes! For more information or to register, contact Jennifer Ibach at 206-935-0358 x.120. Registration is required by January 18th!

50K United Airline Miles Needed to Make McAllen Trip Possible for Two Volunteers
Fr. Jack and parishioners from OLG are preparing for a service trip to McAllen, TX to help at the Humanitarian Respite Center run by Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley. The trip will take place in March and we are looking for donations of United Airlines miles to help offset the cost for a couple of volunteers. Please consider helping us serve the families arriving at our border by donating 12.5K-50K miles (smaller increments may also be donated).
