Catholic School
The purpose of O.L.O.R. School is to facilitate the development of effective, responsible, Christian citizens. Our goal is to stimulate the intellectual, spiritual, physical and cultural development of each student. Our school's faith community is a reflection of the mission of our Catholic Church:
To proclaim the word,
to worship God,
and to serve the people of the world.
The O.L.O.R. School Family is made up of many families from the local communities who gather together during weekend Masses and on many occasions throughout the school year. Our O.L.O.R. Family comes together to show support for one another, to socialize, and to celebrate our growth and accomplishments of First Holy Communion, First Reconciliation, Confirmation, Sporting Events, Graduation, School Open House, Children's Liturgies, School Book Fair, Special Prayer Services, Jr. High Science Fair, Special Student Luncheons, Parish-Sponsored Activities, Parent Club Sponsored Activities and much more!
