Our PreK-8th grade school of over 280 students depends on the unwavering support of our parish, tuition contributions, and the essential fundraising efforts of our Parent Association. With a goal of raising $250,000, the OLL Auction is our most impactful fundraiser of the year. Every dollar raised supports our operational budget and helps provide tuition assistance, ensuring that every family has access to the gift of a Catholic education.
How can you help us hit the high notes?
