Welcome to 2012
The Advent and Christmas weeks have been a very beautiful time at Our Lady of Peace. Our celebrations were festive and Lessons and Carols, Come to the Stable, and One Starry Night were highlights of a peaceful and holy season at Our Lady of Peace. We continue the worship and joy with our celebration of the Epiphany this weekend and with early 2012 events that includes something for almost everyone. Don't lose that Christmas spirit! Keep it going strong into 2012 with Our Lady of Peace.

Support the Mission Trip and Save!
|  Do you shop at Oxendale's or Kowalski's, ride the Metro Transit, or eat at restaurants like Riverview, Blackbird, or The Craftsman? Then you might consider the purchase of a Chinook book from one of our 2012 missionaries. The 2012 Our Lady of Peace Mission Trip is heading to Billings and they are raising some funds by selling Chinook Books. These books are loaded with coupons to vendors right in our neighborhood and just a few are mentioned above. For the cost of $20, most of us will find savings to easily cover the cost and you are supporting a great cause! Secure your copy by contacting Ashley. A listing of coupons can be found at msp.chinookbook.net/

Advent Project Thanks
| Thank you to all who participated in our Advent project with Nuestros Pequenos Hermanos. Thank you to parishioner, Vicki Roers and her employer, Allina Health Services for allowing her to visit the Nuestros Pequenos Hermanos home in Honduras. The students and faculty of OLP school raised $1210.50 so that Vicki and parishioner, Paul Campion, could provide a Christmas stocking for each child at the home. For more information and photos, check out Vicki's blog at http://www.vichonduras.blogspot.com/. Friends of the Orphans received 8 child sponsorships from parishioners at OLP, totaling $3,320 in annual donations. Thank you all for embracing this ministry.
