Agreement has now been reached with the insurance
company regarding the claim for the damage due to
the mold problem. The roof and air-conditioning
work is essentially complete, and the interior
restoration work is scheduled to begin Monday,
February 12. The restoration construction is
estimated to take approximately four weeks to
complete. We ask for your support and
understanding as we continue to work toward
getting things back to normal.
Thank you, Property Management

Blessed Sacrament Church, Knights of Columbus, Council #931, will be sponsoring the
Annual Homecoming Lasagna Dinner On Saturday, February 24 in the Parish Hall
following the 4:00 pm Mass.
Our Lady of the Valley Catholic School will begin registering new students on February 12, 2018. We are excited to announce new,
lower tuition rates for the 2018-19 school year. OLV is a National Blue Ribbon of Excellence Award Winner for both 1999 and 2011,
the only Birmingham area Catholic school to receive this prestigious award. Our high quality academics and exceptional fine arts
offerings include nationally recognized science and drama programs.
Yet it is our religious foundation that makes OLV the best choice for your children. Our students consistently score in the top 97th
percentile on the national Assessment for Children in Religious Education. Prayer and daily religious instruction along with weekly
Mass, service projects and religious field trips prepare our students
to make decisions based on gospel values.
Our school thanks Fr. Culotta and the St. Mark’s Parish for your
continued support. I ask that you prayerfully consider providing your
child with a Catholic education. Please call our office at 991-5963 or
email [email protected] for information about becoming a part
of the OLV School community.
