Scenes from the Weekend

What a fabulous weekend to live in south city! OLS families enjoyed a full weekend of south city outdoor fun on a beautiful fall weekend. We kicked off the excitement on Friday with our first food truck event. Throngs of OLS school families, parishioners, and neighbors flocked to the parking lot to enjoy delicious food and lively dancing.

On Saturday, we headed to the Macklind Business District to celebrate Macklind Days with the surrounding community. OLS students spent the afternoon painting faces to the delight of many. Besides face painting, a team of OLS volunteers helped supervise the bounce house, bag up trash, and tear down at the end of the night.

Sunday found us in Francis Park spreading OLS spirit at Art in the Park. Kids who stopped by our booth had a chance to create maracas out of spoons, plastic eggs, and dried beans. The park was packed, and we loved the chance to share our OLS pride!

A big thank you to all who made this weekend a success! From the event organizers - Joe and Emily Feldman, Anne Kromer, JoEllen Sarich - to the hardworking volunteers. From the fun-loving attendees to the prayerful support behind the scenes. We are grateful to be part of such a fantastic community!
