Dear OLP Family,

A week ago, I got a call from the Diocese: Bishop Michael Saporito wants to come and preside at our 11:00am Mass next Sunday, October 25. I was truly surprised because he will be installed as our Bishop this Thursday, October 22, at 2:00pm, and he wants to visit our parish the very first Sunday after the installation! What an honor for our OLP Family, praise God! I request you to consider attending the 11:00am Mass and meet our new Chief Shepherd.

Dear OLP Family,

Every year, all the priests of our Diocese attend a convocation - a time for prayer, enrichment, fellowship, and relaxation. There will be presentations by a guest speaker. The convocation this year is on 13, 14, and 15 October. That means we will not be having the 8:00AM Mass this Wednesday and Thursday. Instead, there will be a Communion/Prayer Service. The Mass intention will be fulfilled by me as I will be concelebrating the Mass with all the priests on those days.

Dear OLP Family,

We know October is Respect Life Month, promoting respect for human life in light of our intrinsic dignity as created in God’s image and likeness and called to an eternal destiny with him. This year's theme is "Mary, Mother of Life." It is meant to remind us how the life of the Blessed Mother teaches us to respect each human life in every stage and circumstance. In becoming the mother of Jesus, Mary becomes the mother of life.
