Good Morning OLA!   Today is Monday, August 25, 2025. 

Morning Offering and Special Intentions:

Please stand for our morning prayer as we remember that we are in the presence of God.

Our Father, Who art in heaven Hallowed be Thy Name; Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.  Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

OLA Sports

This past Saturday, the OLA Crescents lined up at the Cory McGee Open in Pass Christian. The Varsity squad finished 8th out of 16 teams—and were only 22 points behind division rival Saint Patrick, a very promising sign for the season ahead!

In the Varsity 5K, team captain Maddelyn North delivered a breakthrough performance, shattering her 2024 best by nearly two minutes with a 26:26 finish. Just as impressive was the pack behind her—sophomores Adi Lepley, Leah Vollenweider, and Bijou Ellison all crossed within thirty seconds of Maddelyn and each other, demonstrating the kind of tight scoring spread that makes a team dangerous in championship racing.  

In the Junior High 3K, 7th grader Callie Zimmerli stormed to 7th place overall out of 115 runners, clocking a blazing 13:46. Right behind her, Annie Lee (15:42) and Bernadette Hoffmann (15:41) ran stride for stride to score valuable points, while Eliza-Mae Bendich (18:08) showed steady improvement as another key scorer. Rounding out the squad was Vivian Sevener, who followed in her sister Estelle’s footsteps with a solid debut performance of just under 20 minutes.

This marks the first time OLA has ever fielded a full junior high team, and this group already looks like a podium threat at the Middle School State Classic in October. The Crescents return to action in two weeks at our home meet—the Saint Stanislaus Cross Country Classic on September 6th. And if there are any girls still brave enough to lace up and help out, there’s room on this team—just reach out to captain Maddelyn North.

JH Soccer Tryouts will be Tuesday, September 23rd and Wednesday, September 24th from 4:30-6:00 at the OLA soccer field. You must have registered in DragonFly, have a current physical on file, and have completed all eligibility requirements in DragonFly to tryout.  If you have any questions, you may see Coach Farrell or Coach Summy.
