Letter From Father Dennis, OLL Pastor, regarding COVID-19
Our Bishop, Robert Guglielmone, after consulting with the College of Consultors and with their full consent, has decided that all public gatherings and Masses will be suspended until further notice. This means that there will be no public celebrations for Palm Sunday, Holy Week and Easter Sunday and beyond. It is hoped that we will be able to celebrate Pentecost together.

We are a Stewardship Parish
Ministry Booklets with a brief description and contact information were emailed to those families who are on Constant Contact and mailed to those who have no emails.
Stewardship PrayerFather, Son, and Holy Spirit: As we look deep within ourselves and discover the many gifts and talents You have given us, direct our lives in a way which best allow us to steward these gifts.
Give us the courage to confirm in others the talents and giftedness they possess. May we never forget, as each one of us has received a gift, we are to use it to serve one another as good stewards of Your varied grace.
In this way, we are stewarding our gifts for Your honor and glory and not for ourselves. Amen. -

A NOTE FROM LOUIE HEHMAN, MUSIC DIRECTOR
"The music ministry at OLL has worked together to compile a YouTube playlist of some of their favorite songs for Holy Week. As a group with diverse tastes, this playlist has a little something for everybody: we've got Gregorian chant, Renaissance polyphony, contemporary classics by Marty Haugen and Dan Schutte, and even some modern worship selections courtesy of our LifeTeen band.
We want to grow the list over the course of this week, so feel free to send an email to music.director@ollchapin.org if there's something you'd like to see added. Under these circumstances, we know that keeping Holy Week holy can be hard, and we hope that this music can help just a bit. We'll be sending out another playlist specifically for Easter next week. Until then, God bless! And stay healthy!"
