Plenary Indulgences for the Holy Souls
From November 1st to 8th (the octave) visit a cemetery and pray for the poor souls in Purgatory and fulfill the following requirements:
• State of grace when performing the indulgenced act
• Detachment from sin, even venial sin
• Confession within 20 days
• Communion within 20 days
• Prayers for the Supreme Pontiff within 20 days
It is a spiritual work of mercy to pray for the dead.
Eternal rest grant to them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen.

St. Nicholas Coming to Town
Wednesday, Dec. 9th 10:30 am
Bring the children to OLC to meet St. Nicholas, Bishop of Myra, on the Wednesday after his feast day! Children will leave their shoes in the downstairs hallway and then head up to the Chapel with their parents and grandparents. St. Nicholas will surprise them there and tell them about his life, his love of the Lord, and his joy of giving. Afterwards, all are invited to the Conference room for Cookies, coloring and an opportunity to get photos with St. Nick!
Please RSVP if you can so St. Nicholas knows how many bags of chocolate coins to have on hand for the children's shoes (we'll have some extras for last minute drop-ins). Also, let us know if an alternate treat is needed due to dietary restrictions.

You can feel good about shopping here!
We have been trying for some time now, for both ethical and quality reasons, to source most of our items from the USA, Italy, Portugal, Colombia, Equador, El Salvador, South Korea and various other countries.
Our products are produced by Catholic companies, religious orders, apostolates and local artisans. We trust our vendors, and they stand behind their work. Buying from us supports them too, and they need it.
OLC is a non-profit 501c3, and all revenue generated goes toward supporting our little shrine and ministry of bringing people to Jesus through Mary.
Come and let us find the perfect gifts for your loved ones. We can be your personal shopper. We can even order for you and have the items ship directly to you!
While Amazon will likely not miss your support, we are very, very grateful for it! Every First Saturday Mass is offered for the intentions of our patrons and benefactors, and this means you!
Thank you! - OLC Staff
