Christening Blankets
A greatly appreciated and popular ministry of the OLOA Guild is the gifting of handmade Christening blankets to our newest and most precious parishioners. We need the creative hands of volunteer knitters, crocheters, and quilters, or you can participate in this simple yet beautiful ministry by donating pure white yarn (cotton or other non-wool material) or a cash donation toward yarn, gift bags and cards. If you have any questions please contact Phyllis Rish at msprish@aol.com.

First Communion
Please keep our First Communicants and their families in your prayers as they celebrate this beautiful sacrament on Saturday, May 14th. The Guild will host a reception immediately following.

Crowning of Mary
The crowning of Mary at OLOA will be celebrated on Sunday, May 15th. The National Catholic Register explains "In 1987, in its “Order of Crowning an Image of the Blessed Virgin Mary,” the National Conference of Catholic Bishops, the precursor to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, said, “The month of May is dedicated to the Queen of Heaven, as are all flowers. Early this month, a statue of the Virgin at church is crowned with a wreath of flowers, and flowers are laid at her feet.” "“The crowning is symbolic of Mary as Queen of Heaven and of our lives,” Father John Broussard, rector of the National Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help in Champion, Wisconsin, explained."
