From all of us at Our Lady of Peace, may God bless you and your loved ones during this beautiful season and in the new year. We think this 30 second clip of OLP students at Las Posadas captures a bit of the peace and wonder of the season.  
Thanks for Coming to the Stable
Come to the Stable
Come to the Stable: A Living Nativity was December 16. It was a reminder of the strength of the community as we came together to present a beautiful gift to all of Minneapolis. 

We collected food for the Minnehaha Food Shelf (32 bags) and presents for the kids of St. Joseph's Home for Children (12 bags of gifts) and enjoyed the warmth of friendship and fellowship.  

Thanks to the over 100 volunteers who put it together.
 

And, if you'd like to share a photo from the event, upload it here. We'd love to share with others.
Gracias! Advent Project a Success
NPH
The Our Lady of Peace Advent Project called for students and families from Our Lady of Peace School and Wednesday Night Religion to organize a stocking stuffing program.

Stockings were made and $5 was placed in the stocking to go toward some necessities and a few gifts for the kids of  Nuestros Pequenos Hermanos. 
 
Beyond that, parishioners were asked to make a donation to go toward toys and sports equipment at the orphanage + some food to hold a Christmas dinner.
 
Our Lady of Peace is proud to report that NPH will receive nearly $2700 and 172 stockings! 
 
Thank you for your generosity!
