IN THE NEWS...
 
A Very Special May Crowning!
OLC welcomed the lovely Pilgrim Virgin Statue of Our Lady of Fatima to our Chapel, and she was crowned by recent First Communicant Mary Rose Abruzzo, daughter of OLC patron Joan. Fr. Greg Rapisarda celebrated Mass and assisted Mary Rose in the crowning. Everyone brought up flowers and were invited to celebrate afterwards with cake. This beautiful hand-painted statue is available for procession at local parishes and venues. Let us know if you are interested!

WE'RE CLEARING OUT SOME BEAUTIFUL TREASURES TO MAKE ROOM DURING OUR CHAPEL RENOVATIONS
 
Image
Official Rosary of the 2024 National Eucharistic Congress
Exclusive design by Ghirelli. Limited quantities.
This antique gold finish rosary by Ghirelli features glass beads. The Crucifix takes inspiration from the Gospel passage John 15:1-4-5:“I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine grower.…. Remain in me, as I remain in you. Just as a branch cannot bear fruit on its own unless it remains on the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in me. I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit, because without me you can do nothing.” The Centerpiece is a beautiful Monstrance, a replica of the one which will be used at the 10th National Eucharistic Congress to hold the Real Presence of Jesus in the Consecrated Host.  A percentage of the proceeds from sales of this Rosary benefit the National Eucharistic Congress.
 
Father's Day is June 16th
