Welcome to Our Lady of the Greenwood Website!

I know it has been long time in coming but I hope you agree with me that the wait has been worth it. I would like to thank our volunteer webmaster, Sue Turnquist, on the fine job that she has done.

Our main goal with the website is to make sure that all parishioners are well informed and will find the site easy to use. We welcome those who are not parishioners to take time to explore our pages. I hope you find them helpful and informational.

Like anything new, there may be mistakes or typos. Just let us know and we will change it immediately. In the meantime, enjoy the site. I hope it gives you a good view of just who and what we are here at Our Lady of the Greenwood.

New Items on Website

"The Year of St. Paul"

In keeping with "The Year of St. Paul" inaugurated by Pope Benedict XVI, a series of monthly annotations on the life and contributions of Paul are on our website. The first article provides information about the papal promulgation. The second article gives an account of the life and times of St. Paul. The articles are written by our own parishioner, Ben Cerimele and are very informative.

Interested In Our Faith?

Inquiry classes as part of the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) start in mid August. Please call Judy Koch or Sandy McGill at the parish office to register for RCIA.

The classes run through November, after which the Catechumenate period begins if you wish to continue. Those not baptized are baptized, confirmed and receive first communion at Easter Vigil. Those already baptized are confirmed and receive communion on the same evening.

RCIC is for children, ages 8 and above and classes are held separately. Please call the parish office for more information.

The OLG Rosary Logo

We would like to thank Patrick Eichhold of Eye-Cold Design for his creativity in designing the holy rosary as part of our new OLG logo since our parish is called "Our Lady of the Greenwood Queen of the Holy Rosary." This logo is displayed on every web page located at the upper lefthand corner of your screen.
