“Follow Me.” (Matthew 9:9)
The call for you to BECOME like Jesus in your thoughts, words, and deeds so that the world can see him through you.
Once we have encountered the Lord, our hearts are open to receive his pure, perfect, and perpetual love, and a new life of peace takes hold of us. From that, we desire to know him more intimately. Through Parish life, there are many ways the Lord offers us the chance to become like him so that the world may experience his love through us. Check out these opportunities to BECOME like Christ and grow deeper in your following of him!

The call to holiness is a lifelong formation process. We do not simply graduate from Believing or Becoming like Christ at Confirmation. In fact, with the blessings bestowed upon us through the sacrament, we are newly equipped to live out the Great Commandment—to love God and neighbor. Everything we do at OLPH is centered around Christ and the opportunity to belong to him and his community, encounter his love, and become like him so that we can bring that love to the world.
