Members of the 31 Club agree to go to daily Mass on a particular day every month and offer that Mass for an increase of vocations to the Church. There is a great need for vocations in the Church today. One of the best ways to increase vocations is through prayer, and the greatest prayer we have is the holy sacrifice of the Mass.

Upcoming Mass commitments: Dec. 29: Linda M., Richard M. Dec. 30: Bethann D., Linda D., Julie M., James S. Dec. 31: Rudy & Sharon W. Jan. 1: Maxine R., Mark S., Evelyn V. Jan. 2: Kathy W., Deacon Dennis K. Jan. 3: Sister Peggy, Linda D., Wilma M., Virginia S. Jan . 4: Arlene B., Connie F.

If you would like to join the OLP 31 Club, please call Dave or Kathy Wayman at 454-8974. There are no dues and no meetings, only opportunities for grace and the satisfaction that comes from helping to fulfill a great need in the Church.

OLP 31 Club Praying for vocations every day of the year!
