Due to Covid, there will be no Wednesday evening Mass. Thanksgiving Mass will be 8:30am  on Thanksgiving Day.

Parish Offices will be closed Thanksgiving Day and Friday of this week. 

Have a Blessed, Happy Thanksgiving!

The OLP Food Pantry remains OPEN on Tuesdays from 10:00 a.m. – 12:00
p.m. Donations of non-perishable items are greatly appreciated. Since it is
only open once a week, the number of patrons is significant and the shelves
are bare by closing. The following items are in most need: hot and cold cereal, rice, peanut butter and jelly, canned fruit, pancake mix and syrup. Plastic and paper bags are always greatly appreciated to package the food.  Please do NOT donate candy or perishable food. 

You can drop off donations at the Rectory from Monday to Friday – 8am to 6pm

Thank you for allowing the Pantry to serve those in need with your donations.

WHY REGISTER?
Every Catholic should be registered in a parish. Beside the active support and involvement that the registration enables, the parish registration is also a mandatory condition for many sacraments including Baptism and Matrimony. *It is therefore important to register at your local parish as soon as you start worshiping there regularly.
 You may request verification letters to sponsor individuals for sacraments,
receive sacraments yourself or your child (i.e. marriage, baptism).
 You will receive end-of-the-year tax contribution statements.
 The Archdiocese will know that our parish has a healthy base of registered,
supportive parishioners.

To register in the parish, please visit the Rectory or print out the

Parish-Registration-Form

on our website, fill it out and return it to the rectory.

*You are not automatically registered if you made your Sacraments here as a child or went to the school.
