Director's Corner - Philip Lovekamp

As many of you know, Philip Lovekamp, an OCHS sophomore, was recently diagnosed with leukemia. Philip is a sophomore at OCHS. Philip's family has requested that their OCS family pray and rally around him. They expect a long year of weekly trip to Kosairs Hospital in Louisville for chemo treatments and probably hospitalizations for infections and illnesses as well. I have told them that the prayers and positive thoughts had already begun and would continue throughout their arduous ordeal. To follow Philip's progress a Caring Bridge page has been created.  May God our almighty Father shower Philip with His healing graces.


I appreciate all you do to help us fulfill our mission of excellence in Catholic faith formation and academics. As always, your comments and insights are important to me. I can be reached via phone at 852-8028 and email at ken.rasp@owensborocatholic.org.

God's Peace!
