ED Talks: Challenging Your Mind, Soul and Heart, in honor of Fr. Ed Kelly CSSp. & Stone Soup Suppers
"ED Talks" encourages parishioners to engage in public policy advocacy by informing them on current issues that are close to the heart of the parish. "Stone Soup Suppers" illuminate the 3 pillars of Lent (prayer, fasting, alms-giving) through the lens of Catholic Social Teaching. These two speaker series programs look for volunteers to help plan events, as well as pick themes for each series. Logistical support such as making soup is also volunteer-based. Please consider participating.

Good News People Program
Adults meet in small group settings, 14 times over the course of the year, to explore our faith through the lens of discipleship. Course materials and discussion topics are provided.

Intergenerational Activities
These activities are designed to engage the whole community, regardless of age. Opportunities for service and reflection are offered throughout the year to provide experiences of practiced faith (discipleship). Together we glean vegetables from local farms to feed the poor of our community, watch and process "movies with a moral", bake holidays pies to accompany food baskets, knit scarves for the homeless, and bake cookies for the imprisoned.

OLQP Library
The OLQP library houses a collection numbering over 5,000 volumes relating to religious studies and social justice concerns. The books are shelved according to 21 different categories covering subject matter such as Black Studies, Peace, Spirituality, Scripture, Catholic Church, and Religious Pluralism. Many of the books have become recognized religious classics and are now out of print. In addition, the library subscribes to five periodicals, including America, Commonweal, and The Tablet, a British weekly magazine. Located in Father Ray Hall, the library serves as a valuable resource for parishioners and ministries. Borrowing is based on a self-service honor system: signed out by the patron and returns made in a timely manner.
