Hi OLG Community,
Tomorrow is Field Day and we are ready for it! Rain or shine, Field Day and our 8th Grade v. Teacher volleyball game are happening! Ms. Mackenzie and the 7th graders have planned out some wonderful activities for our K-8 kids (ELC Field Day happening on a separate day,) and it will be an awesome day as a community.
If you haven’t already brought in your food donations, please do so first thing in the morning. Thank you to those who have donated, and for PO for helping to prepare the food. A huge thank you to our alumni family, the Lindholm’s, who donated all the Boar’s Head hot dogs!
Today we celebrated Mass with Fr. Rob who works in the Bishop’s Office. We are so lucky that he has said yes to substitute for all of our remaining school Masses. Our 2nd graders did a beautiful job leading Mass, and our middle school choir, and guest pianist, Evan Z in 6th grade, did a great job. Thank you for all who could attend! Our next school Mass is Light of Leadership Baccalaureate Mass on Wednesday, June 5th at 9am. All families are invited.
As a reminder, tomorrow is an athletic wear free dress/ Space theme. Students should be wearing tennis shoes and things that they can move around in. They should be comfortable, but also remember that it should be school appropriate free dress, as outlined in the handbook.
Looking forward to tomorrow! Only a few more weeks of school so let’s make it great!

Thank you for a Great Career Day!
A massive shout out to everyone who came to speak at Career Day last week and all the teachers and volunteers who made the day amazing. PreK through 4th grade each explored careers in unique ways, adding to the skill and job explorations we've been doing in SEL classes the last couple of weeks. Meanwhile, a whopping 29 professionals from a wide range of industries came to speak to grades 5-8! Lawyers, non-profit executives, professional dancers, pilots, health care professionals, mental health specialists, engineers, computer programers, radio personalities, financial advisors, chefs, HR representatives...it was an amazing and diverse representation. The students learned a lot and loved all the interesting stories people shared. Overall, a great success! special thanks to Sheila Hui, parishioner and former OLG parent for helping make the day such a success. Several speakers were unable to make the day and Sheila did an amazing job of recruiting last minute volunteers. << Kindergarten pics >>

Priests meet in April for a Partners in the Gospel Retreat
The multi-day retreat at St. Edwards State Park in Kenmore, focused on personal reflection, fraternity and learning. The retreat began with Archbishop Etienne presiding and preaching at the opening Mass, followed by his welcome and talk to the pastors in which he described his vision of the exciting opportunities, as well as the challenges, that are ahead. See this month’s UPDATE for more information.

Interim Synod Update
In this stage of listening, we were asked to focus on the co-responsibility of the baptized and to ponder what gets in the way of our participation in the mission of the Church, and what fosters it. This Lent, across the Archdiocese, a number of groups took part in listening sessions, including parishes, schools, women in ministry, Chancery staff, and more. While the number of participants was much smaller than in the first consultation, the Archdiocese, including our own parish, made a special effort to hear voices that were not fully represented in earlier listening—in particular, parish priests and youth. Remarkably, more than 500 young people took part, thanks to the efforts of some of our Catholic high schools, and the hard work of the new Archdiocesan Youth Council. You can read the Synthesis from the Seattle Listening Sessions on our parish website.
