Fr. Bill's Message to OLR and more

Ribbon Wall - Thanks to all who placed the names of their beloved departed on our ribbon wall. This is the final weekend to do so before All Souls Day. There is no fee, just prayers during the month of November for all the people represented by the ribbons.

The Ice Cream Social is back this year! Join us this Saturday, 8/28, after 4 P.M. Mass for some great food, music, and festivities. We'll be serving up more than ice cream with activities that will be fun for the entire family.

Hosted by the

2pm—4pm

As we return to our former ways of worship and liturgies, we wish to respectfully celebrate the lives of those we lost during the last 18 months, whether from Covid-19 or other causes. Please join us for a special OLR Memorial Mass on Monday, July 5, Feast of Our Lady of Refuge, at 5:30 P.M. Could there be a more fitting feast day to join as a parish community to commemorate our loved ones? We would ask that you provide names (maybe with dates of passing) and photos (framed if possible) of all whom you would like mentioned at this Mass. You may leave the names and labeled photos in the basket by the Baptismal font this weekend or bring them with you to the Mass. Names may be emailed to dre@start.olrs.org. Photos will be placed on the altar steps. Lectors will read the list of the deceased. The ribbons we hung outside in November will be in a basket on the altar.

Fr. Gregory Boyle will speak at Our Lady of Refuge on Tuesday, December 14 at 7 P.M. Mark your calendars now!

Please welcome into our parish community Divina Grace Crisostomo, Isaac Roman, and Abraham Zaragoza. They were baptized on Saturday, May 16. Baptisms are held once a month. Call the Religious Ed office with any questions regarding registration. (562) 597-3102
