Our Church
Loving Christ, Loving Others
We are a welcoming Catholic community called by God to live out the message of Christ in love and service to all people. Our parish mission is:
To proclaim the Gospel of Christ to our local community in word, deed, and truth.
Florence Bank continues to offer a program that annually distributes $125,000 among local non-profit organizations. They call it their Annual Customers' Choice Community Grants. Any qualifying nonprofit organization that receives 50 or more customer votes receives a proportional share of the funds. Historically many non-profits have been awarded between $1,000 and $5,000. In 2024 Our Lady of the Hills Parish received $5,000 because you voted for us! Way-to-Go! The Finance Council urges parishioners to participate again on behalf of OLH by voting. Voting is available online at https://www.florencebank.com/vote

Upcoming Events
Parish Picnic - Saturday, August 2 from 5 p.m.-7 p.m.
The annual parish picnic will be held indoors in the church hall so we will not worry about heat and rain! Hope many can come. We will supply hot dogs, hamburgers, veggie burgers, turkey dogs, chips, lemonade and water. We hope you will bring the dish (side dish or dessert) that brings you joy. Suggestions include pasta salads, baked beans, bean salads, green salads, devilled eggs, fruit or fruit salad, brownies, cupcakes, cakes, pies or whatever you like to bring to events. To cover the costs of the food and paper products we will supply, we hope you will make a $ donation (suggested $5). We will have a jar for donations at the door. You can drop off your food donation before 4 P.M. Mass if you are attending that Mass. There will be sign up sheets in the back of the church. Your name and number of guest (including yourself) are needed for planning; the food donation is optional if you aren’t sure what you will bring. If you could at least say side dish or dessert, it will help others know what we are short on. As always, help is always needed. You can contact Louise Jasionkowski louisej2474@comcast.net
