Friday, August 15th was the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary and our parish feast day! Following the 5:30 p.m. Holy Day Mass, we had a very special 75th anniversary parish feast day dinner in Affinito Hall.
A video in commemoration of our parish’s 75th anniversary was presented at the parish dinner. It features interviews with Pastor Fr. Eduino Silveira, Pastors Emeriti Fr. Michael Kiernan and Fr. Brendan McKeefry, and many others who share parish history, special memories, and what they love about OLA! Click the button below to view the video.

Thank you to the Jubilee Committee, Martha & Mary Group, Social Committee, our parish ministries, and to everyone who contributed to making the Feast Day Mass and Dinner such a memorable event! We will be sharing highlights and pictures from the dinner. Stay tuned for updates to this blog post.
We are continuing to collect memories about OLA in commemoration of our anniversary year. Please share a fond OLA memory in writing or a picture with your contact information. These can be emailed to communications@olaparish.net, dropped off at the parish office, or dropped off on the weekends in the memory collection basket on the table near the altar server room (rectory side door).
