Our Lady of Refuge Catholic Church Home

Carla has enthusiastic charm and pronounced abilities to help at every occasion; she offers her assistance to anyone in need. Bringing her family to Our Lady of Refuge 13 years ago, Carla and her husband Joe were lending their time and talents from the first International Potluck celebrating our tradition of community; even now she volunteers and uses her many talents to enhance every opportunity for service. Carla is more than a Star ⭐️ she exemplifies Christ in the best way possible -- quietly, honorably, and consistently.

Cindy is a longtime parishioner whose children attended OLRS. Cindy is always in the background ready to serve. She has been deeply involved in service to the school and parish for over 45+ years. Cindy is an active Eucharistic Minister, often the lead at the 4 p.m. mass. She enjoys Yarn Angels and is a part of supplying beautiful prayer/lap shawls to our parishioners. She recently took all of the succulents home from the outside garden of Religious Education. She separated the overgrown plants, repotted them, and returned them to the garden. Thank you, Cindy, for your gardening ability and for always being ready to pitch in and help.

Last weekend, these young leaders presented information at Mass about the new OLR Young Adult Ministry for ages 18-30. No registration or fee. Gatherings consist of Bible Study, Community Building and Fun. The first meeting of this new ministry was held on June 25th.

Christian de Marcos has been celebrating Mass since he first arrived in pre-K. He was the only altar server we had in the tents during COVID.
