Presenting 20 Beautiful
Vintage Holy Treasures
that need to find new homes!
All items are now on display in the hallway
for our patrons' viewing pleasure.
ALL PROCEEDS BENEFIT OLC.
Silent Auction Round 1 begins NOW
and ends Friday, July 24th at 4 pm.

OLC has continued to amass dozens of gently-used, lovely, unique and possibly quite valuable Catholic treasures. Many families have brought them to us in hopes that they will find loving homes in faithful households. Well, what better way is there to rehome them than to feature a choice selection every summer 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, July 24th. 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.
