Bishop Marc Trudeau confirmed Our Lady of Refuge candidates on May 3, 2025.

OLR Star Kimberly Nelson Polasky serves as Chapter Secretary for her local Chapter of Woodmen Life, where she dedicates her free time to volunteering in the community. Recently, she helped plan a Jurisdictional Convention and was nominated to serve as Jurisdictional Treasurer. She was also nominated to be one of six National Representatives for the Jurisdiction (CA, HI, OR, NV, WA) at the National Convention that will be held in Washington, D.C. this August. Her dedication, sharp mind, and heart for service make her perfect for these roles.

The Confirmation retreat attended last weekend included sunrise meditation (dolphins seen each morning) and sunset meditation. Our teens also celebrated the Sacrament of Reconciliation, Eucharist, and Adoration, thanks to Fr. David who spent most of Saturday with our candidates. Thanks to all of you who kept us in your prayers. It was a great step in our teens’ journey of faith.
