go to OSP for Mass from Glenview starting in the mid-1980s. Those OG Block Parties were amazing. Got married there. My son was baptized there. My wife and I helped start the youth group there (which was needed because the aforementioned Block Party couples suddenly had teenagers). And now my kids are in the youth group. Were it not for OSP, I'm pretty confident I would no longer consider myself Catholic.
