This Memorial Mass will be invitation only (October 9, 2021 at 11:00 am) due to space limitations, CDC Rules and Regulations and the rise of COVID-19 cases. Although the Males Family would love to have their entire OLC Family with them during this important time, their family is very large. This Memorial Mass will be live-streamed on our OLC LIVE ON YouTube located on our main website page. Again, this will consist of only Family and close friends by invitation only. We ask that you respect the wishes of the Males family during this very difficult time. Thank you.Read More -

An Act of Spiritual Communion
My Jesus,
I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things.
and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there
and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You.Amen. -
