Live-streaming will continue:

While we are reopening our parish building to visitors and in-person Masses in phases, our live streaming of Mass will continue.  If you are ill, more susceptible, or feel uncomfortable returning to church right now, please know staying home is ok and you can continue to be with us in spirit.  See the message below, or all the messages from Fr. Alain on this topic in "A Word From Our Pastor". 

Sign-up to Attend Mass Here:

To support social distancing, space is limited.  You need to sign-up in advance to attend Mass in person. If you understand the restrictions in place and need to sign-up for a Mass, please visit our Sign-Up Genius page. If not, please continue to read below.

Volunteers Needed for Each Mass:

Other items to keep in mind when returning to Mass:

• Please arrive early to check-in and be seated.
• Distribution of Holy Communion will be under one species.

Below is a message from Fr. Alain regarding our reopening.  Visit "A Word From Our Pastor" for other messages on this topic.

The Holy Spirit is encouraging us to re-open on Pentecost Sunday. We are now doing everything possible to have our first public Mass at 10 am on May 31st to celebrate the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles. May the Holy Spirit continue guiding our re-opening steps beyond Pentecost!

We will soon send a detailed comprehensive note on how to ensure a smooth re-opening.  Until then, below are three key points for your consideration:

1. Social distancing will be maintained within the church. This means church seating will be limited as we will be able to use somewhat less than 25 percent of our church capacity. If you desire to attend a Mass, you need to place a reservation either on line or by calling the office. 
2. Everyone must wear a mask and bring their own hand sanitizer.  Anyone who is ill or suspects he or she is ill should refrain from attending Mass. 
3. Archbishop Gregory has announced, "During the initial phase of our re-opening, the Faithful will continue to be dispensed from their obligation to attend Mass on Sunday, due to the limited number of faithful who might be able to attend Mass and gather, and too, recognizing that those in a vulnerable category may choose to remain at home.”  Therefore, to remain in spiritual communion with the entire parish, we will continue to live-stream Masses. 

 If you are interested in volunteering, please visit our online volunteer sign-up, click here or contact Jeannie Jacobs (office@olhoc.org) or Richard Potter (potterra28@yahoo.com).

May we all pray the re-opening of our church will help spiritually strengthen our parish community and help each one of us come closer to Our Lord Jesus Christ, who is our HOPE!  May we all pray to the HOLY SPIRIT, "COME HOLY SPIRIT, GUIDE US and help us share your abundant fruits of Love, Peace, Joy, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self-Control!"

One in Christ,
Fr. Alain
