OLVCS Updates
Led By the Spirit..........................September 5, 2019
Good evening,
Thank you to all who made it to the Parent Meeting & Back to School Night this week..
There will be two make-up meetings next week. Wednesday, September 11th @ 12:00, and Thursday, September 12th @ 5:00. If you missed the meeting, please consider attending, they should last approximately 30 minutes.
This past week some middle schoolers (pictured here) went on a field trip to help with Stream Restoration. It is exactly as it sounds, the students help restore a stream. It truly is a day of work, but they love it. (see photos below)
OLV Church has hired Youth Minister, Rose Ousey. It certainly is exciting to see OLV committed to the youth of our parish. Rose has organized a kick off event for 6th - 12th graders.(more information below)
Make it a Great Day!

What Day Is It????
I'm sure you know what I am talking about, what cycle day is it? Attached is the Cycle Day schedule for the year. This will change once we have our first snow day. We will update as we go through the year.
I will also include the next weeks schedule in the Update.

2019 Walk-A-Thon on the horizon! Monday, October 7th.
We ask each family to raise $200. If you are visiting relatives or friends these last weeks of summer, consider having your child ask for a pledge. More information to follow.
The OLV School Improvements Capital Campaign Committee’s Report:
The kitchen, cafeteria, locker rooms and secured office area are completed. The Committee thanks those who have so generously supported the campaign with prayers, gifts and pledges.
Because of your prayers and financial support we have raised $1,655,489 in pledges of which $1,596,706. is cash received; 570 parishioners accomplished this in just a little over a year.
Final payments to contractors are due by September and October. In order to meet our obligations of $33,294 to the contractors, we are asking donors who have pledges due this calendar year to make your payment(s) in September and October rather than waiting until the end of year. If you have not yet given please prayerfully consider giving a one-time cash gift to help us meet our obligations.
For those who are 70 ½ and older and are in the position of directing your required minimum distribution (RMDs) from your IRA Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCDs) of your Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA), we ask you to consider giving your donation earlier than December.
Thank you for your continued generosity and prayers. For more information or to answer your questions please contact Chris Kirkpatrick at chrisk@ourladyofvictory.com or 814-237-7832 ext. 404.
We give thanks to Our Lord and His Mother and you for making this project so successful. Sincere thanks from the Capital Campaign Steering Committee: Susan and Joseph Rogacs and Matt LIngle Co-Chairs, Samantha Weakland, Thomas Songer II, Dolores Taricani, Robert Leahey, Chris Kirkpatrick and Andrew Charney, Honorary Chair.
