Welcome Father Glenn Whitman! OLP is very excited and pleased to be welcoming Fr. Glenn into our school community and we look forward to making his acquaintance!

OLP Participates in Erie Gives

August 12, 2014 marks our 4th Erie Gives Day, which was started in 2011 in honor of The Erie Community Foundation's 75th Anniversary.

During this event that runs for 12 hours between 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on August 12, 2014, your Erie Community Foundation will match a percentage of each donation that you make to Our Lady of Peace Parish and School when you donate through this website.

The more donations made to OLP, the more matching funds that OLP will receive.
