Mass intentions are available for both weekday & weekend Masses. In addition, we also have Mass intentions available for Holy Day Masses. Remember that Mass intentions can be for the living or deceased.

OLPH Memorial Society:

For a minimum donation of $15 someone is enrolled into the Memorial Society.  The 9:00 AM Mass every first Friday is for “All Those Enrolled in the OLPH Memorial Society” Those who are enrolled into the society receive a special Memorial enrollment card with padded folder.

Additional Memorials Available:

I know that at this time someone can have the sanctuary candle in the church and the chapel burn in memory of someone or for a specific intention. I would like to expand the memorials to include the following:   Altar Bread, Altar Wine, Chapel Floral Arrangement (live), Church Floral Arrangement (live). More details about the minimum donation for each of these items in the near future. Again you would receive a card to give to the family indicating that the Altar Bread (wine, arrangement etc.) for the week of __/__/__ was given in memory of (or for the intention of) XXX by XXX. These memorials can be for the living or deceased.

Yours in Christ,

Rev. James E. Goerner

 

The Flame of Love Holy Hour

The Flame of Love (FOL) is Jesus Himself, who desires to empower faithful souls to combat the evils of sin, lukewarmness, and indifference. The FOL Movement revives tepid souls enabling them to embrace: Daily Mass and Rosary, Eucharistic Adoration, Holy Hours, and Fasting. The devotion is church approved and has been spreading throughout the United States since 2013.  Saving souls is the mission of the Flame of Love.  We host a weekly FOL Holy Hour of Reparation in the chapel each Friday from 1 PM to 2 PM.  For more information please call Deacon Ron Kelley or Julie Kelley at 610-544-0386.

The FOL Pilgrim Virgin Statue is now available to visit your home for a week!  Please prayerfully consider inviting Our Lady into your home.  Testimonies of peace, comfort, healing and hope abound with those who have opened their door to the FOL Pilgrim Virgin Statue.  More information about this Devotion is available in the Flame of Love Pilgrim Virgin Statue Binder that accompanies the statue.  The Flame of Love Prayer Book is also provided for your private prayer time.  To reserve your week, please use this Sign Up Geniuslink or contact Julie Kelley at 610-544-0386.
