Stations of the Cross will be held at OLC Fridays during Lent beginning at 7:00 p.m. The Stations of the Cross began as the practice of pious pilgrims to Jerusalem who would retrace the final journey of Jesus Christ to Calvary. Later, for the many who wanted to pass along the same route, but could not make the trip to Jerusalem, a practice developed that eventually took the form of the fourteen stations.

the OLC Wildcats Basketball Awards Banquet will be held in the PLC at 5:00PM on Sunday, March 19th. The OLC Athletic Association invite all parishioners to come out and support and congratulate our young athletes for a fantastic season. Dinners can be purchased for $5.00 a plate.

Three teams represented OLC in the Christian Athletic Association basketball league with athleticism and sportsmanship and sportswomanship. The pee wee team was made up 6 beautiful young ladies and 2 young men. Five of these courageous youngsters knocked off a higher ranked team in the 1st round of the playoffs. While our juniors may not have had a winning record, they showed tenacity and played hard to the end of every game. Two members of the senior team have been on the Wildcats roster since 2010 and will receive special recognition. Please contact Belinda Grier, Shawn Lawrence or Bettye Wilson for more details.
