Food Pantry News
We are trying to stock our shelves for the winter months ahead. You may place your donation at the entrances of the church in the totes. Each month we will collect a different item.
If you are a registered senior parishioner, in need of some assistance with rides or light maintenance at home, please contact Tina Kroll at 978-582-9589 or email tinamom2@comcast.net. If you are able to assist with this ministry or have questions, please contact Tina.
Funeral Hospitality
This ministry prepares the rectory hall for receptions following funeral services and assists parish families who have lost a loved one. These volunteers set up the hall, serve food provided by the family of the deceased, and clean the hall after the reception. The Parish provides coffee and paper goods as needed. Arrangements to use the rectory hall following a funeral service should be made through the parish office.
Nursing Home Ministry
This ministry is one of love, compassion and caring for wonderful elderly people who are confined to a nursing home. The group provides regularly scheduled communion services at nearby nursing & assisted living facilities. Those interested are invited to join this ministry once or twice a month to share the Catholic faith and enrich the spiritual well being of the elderly.
“MARY, MOTHER OF PRISONERS” MINISTRY
Outreach consists of a group of parishioners who bring the love and compassion of our parish community to incarcerated men.
Except for the love and encouragement our parish ministry provides, so many of these
men have never known a loving family or faith community. The ministry simply shares
with them our caring presence as we join them in their faith walk so that they will feel
encouraged, not abandoned or alone.

The program is designed to help keep parents/families of newly baptized children connected with the OLOL parish family.
The outreach program begins following the child's baptism and continues until the child
is ready to enter into the Religious Ed program. For more information:

COLLEGE OUTREACH MINISTRY was created to keep students connected with our parish family while they are away at school. Volunteers assist by providing prayer, encouragement and support through care packages, notes and regular contact. Students are welcomed home during semester break with a reunion dinner.
