COFFEE SUNDAY --- OLPH
All are invited to Coffee Sunday in the OLPH hall after 8:30 am Mass this Sunday! Come enjoy great fellowship.
POTENTIAL SCAMS
Please be aware of any SCAMS that may come as an email, text message, or phone call trying to impersonate Father Preston to solicit donations. He will never contact you personally asking for money or if you have time to chat!
DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME
Don't forget to turn your clocks forward an hour this Sunday, if they don't automatically do so on their own!
