PARISH FLEA MARKET
OLP RECTORY SALE
9:00 A.M.-4:00 P.M.
CHANGE OF DATES
Monday, May 11th & Tuesday, May 12th
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.
We are having this sale during the week because we
have many upcoming weddings on the weekends in
May & June. 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 so we want to get rid of things before
the summer.
One person’s junk is another person’s treasure and boy
do we have Junk & treasures for you.
