PARISH FLEA MARKET
OLP RECTORY SALE
9:00 A.M.-4:00 P.M.
Wednesday, May 13th & Thursday, May 14th
At this Yard Sale/Flea Market, we will be selling lots
of things left over from previous Flea Markets,
items given to our parish to sell, items left over
from Christmas Bazaars, items left behind from
priests who have lived at OLP, personal items that
Father Feeney is getting rid of, especially lots of
Christmas and Easter Decorations.
These items will be sold in the area in front of
Church.
We will not be renting tables; we are just trying to
clean out a whole lot of junk and “treasures”
that are cluttering up the rectory, school, church
basement, rectory basement, convent basement
and other nooks and crannies at OLP.
Thursday, May 14th is Ascension Thursday, a
Holyday of Obligation; you can shop on your way in
and out of Church.
We are having this sale during the week because
we have many upcoming weddings on the
weekends in the Spring.
No bride or groom wants a Flea Market in front of
Church on their Wedding Day. Once, Memorial Day
arrives lots of our parishioners head to the shore
for the summer.
One person’s junk is another person’s treasure and
boy do we have treasures for you.
EASTER COLLECTION
Thank you to all of our parishioners for your
kindness and generosity in the Easter Collection.
The Easter Collection, thus far, for this year is
$27,653.00.
It is our hope that, we can reach our goal of
$30,000.00 for this Easter’s Collection.
We are $2,437.00 short of our goal for Easter.

every part of the world be united to one
another in fidelity to the Gospel.
May the example of the Holy Family,
with the aid of your Holy Spirit,
guide all families, especially those most
troubled, to be homes of communion and
prayer and to always seek your truth and
live in your love.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Jesus, Mary and Joseph, pray for us!
