Adopt-A-Family this Christmas Season.

OLP is once again adopting 10 local families

this Christmas!

Our Adopt-a-Family tree was set up last weekend, and our OLP parishioners overwhelmingly responded to help our neighbors in need!

Each "adopted" family member will receive 2 gifts plus a general gift for the whole family to share. In addition to their Christmas Wishes, each family will receive grocery gift cards for their Christmas dinner. (All families added toilet paper and cleaning supplies to their Christmas lists)

Once you select a tag and purchase the gift, please wrap and attach that tag to the package and please return it to the church no later than Sunday, December 15th!

Thank you in advance for your kindness and generosity.
