Members of the 31 Club agree to go to daily Mass on a particular day every month and offer that Mass for an increase of vocations to the Church. There is a great need for vocations in the Church today. One of the best ways to increase vocations is through prayer, and the greatest prayer we have is the holy sacrifice of the Mass.

Upcoming Mass commitments: July 27: Ann R. July 28: Ann F., Michael M., Betty S. July 29: Linda M., Richard M. July 30: Bethann D., Linda D., Julie M., James S. July 31: Rudy & Sharon W. Aug. 1: Maxine R., Mark S., Evelyn V. Aug. 2: Kathy W., Deacon Dennis K.

If you would like to join the OLP 31 Club, please call Dave or Kathy Wayman at 454-8974. There are no dues and no meetings, only opportunities for grace and the satisfaction that comes from helping to fulfill a great need in the Church.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS

FOR

AUGUST 12,2014!

On August 12, 2014 we are participating in Erie Gives! Any donation of $25 or more made during 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. on that day will have a portion of the gift matched by the Erie Community Foundation. Go to www.ErieGives.org on August 12th to make your donation to Our Lady of Peace School! Please encourage your friends, family, and colleagues to do the same. Your generous donation is tax-deductible and will be used towards the OLP endowment. The Our Lady of Peace Parish Endowment was established by Monsignor Daley, Mr. Meredith Johnson and Mr. John Sontag in 1990 through generous donations of OLP parishioners like yourselves. At its inception, the funds principal of $11,528.96 was a great way to start thinking outside the box for securing the future of Our Lady of Peace School. The funds were set aside to provide financial assistance to members of OLP parish in obtaining a Catholic education for their children. LET US SHOW OUR SUPPORT TO THE 1990 FOUNDERS BY

RAISING MORE THAN THE ENDOWMENT INCEPTION. OUR GOAL IS $12,000!
