Adult Faith Formation
The parish is the center of faith formation for Catholics. Every person in your pews, every Catholic in your parish community, child or adult, is on their own journey toward Christ and a life of discipleship.
Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA)
Do you know someone interested in the Catholic Faith or interested in becoming Catholic? Have you been baptized a Catholic but have not received your First Communion and/or the Sacrament of Confirmation yet? Perhaps you have been away from the Church for a while and would like to return but feel uncomfortable doing so. If this describes you or someone you know, please join us for the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) classes.
Classes are for any adult or child older than 7 years of age, who is not fully initiated (baptized or received the sacraments of First Eucharist and/or Confirmation).
Bible Study (Fall, Winter, and Spring)
The Bible is the literature of the people of God, the book of the church. We open the Bible to hear our story. When we understand that the Bible is our literature, we can enter into the story personally. How do I fit into this great story of God and humanity? How is my life being shaped by this inspired literature and molded into the person I was created to be?
There are two Bible Study groups: Mondays at 6:30 pm, and Fridays at 9:45 am. Contact Peggy at peggybuckinghamolos@hotmail.com for more information.

Altar Server Ministry
A wonderful opportunity for our youth to serve the Lord and church community!

Community Outreach
OLOS was once heavily involved in volunteering and fundraising for our local food bank and winter shelter. Pre-COVID, OLOS provided meals for the homeless regularly. We seek to revitalize our role as a parish helping our own community. We welcome volunteers of all ages to meet and create a new committee to help our local food bank, other local charitable organizations, or an OLOS project.
