Our Lady of Victory Church

Good evening everyone, 

 This is your gentle reminder that there are no Faith Formation classes or home assignments this weekend with the MLK Jr. holiday. We will have Children’s Liturgy of the Word (CLOW) at both our 9am OLV Mass and 11am OLS Mass. This is a great resource for your little ones to help Mass feel more manageable. Following the Opening Prayer, children ages 3-7 are invited to go out and hear the scripture readings in age-appropriate language and complete activities with our CLOW catechists.

If you would like to pick up your child’s Gospel Weeklies packets from 1/7 and 1/14, I get them together for you during this week! We will have in-person classes again on Sunday, January 21^st from 10:15-11:15am.
