Please join the OLA School Community on Tuesday, March 21 at 10:45 am in the gymnasium for the OLA Feast Day Mass prepared by our Grade 4 and Grade 4/5 classes and celebrated by Fr. Peter. All are welcome to attend.
Our school name refers to the celebration of the announcement by the angel Gabriel to the Virgin Mary that she would conceive and become the mother of Jesus, the Son of God. Gabriel told Mary to name her son Jesus, meaning “Saviour”. The feast of Our Lady of the Annunciation is celebrated each year on March 25th, nine months before the birth of Jesus. Our Lady of the Annunciation teaches us how to live our real lives in a real world! When the Angel of the Lord appeared, bearing the message and calling her to a special mission, she said “YES.” We must say “Yes” as well and believe that “nothing is impossible with God.”
