OLC has amassed dozens of gently-used, lovely, unique and possibly quite valuable Catholic treasures throughout the years. Many families have brought them to us in hopes that they will find loving homes in faithful households. We have been praying about how to be faithful stewards of these items and how best to reverently and respectfully use them to help raise funds for OLC.
Well, what better way than to feature a choice selection every couple weeks and let our patrons place bids on them? This way, these sacred treasures will go to homes that will treasure them, needed funds will be raised to support OLC, and we will regain much square footage of useable space in our multi-purpose Conference room!
These featured items are on display in the hallway at OLC until the auction ends, along with their bidding sheets. If you would like to place a bid, call us or stop in to receive a bidder number which is used on the sheets rather than names. Bidders can also request texted updates before the close of the auction to try to avoid being outbid. Bidding ends at 4 pm on Friday, August 1st. Winners will then be notified and payment collected as soon as possible. In the event of non-payment, the next highest bidder will be contacted after a reasonable time has been given.
