Christmas at Our Lady of Pompeii
If we get a yellow designation, even on December 23rd, we want to be ready to welcome as many people as possible to Mass for Christmas. That will only happen with people being willing to volunteer in various ministries and being pre-registered for Masses. Help us prepare for the arrival of the Christ Child and keep hope that we will be celebrating together.

This year, give the gift of your time and help to make our Christmas celebration special at OLP.
Because of the pandemic, we are going to need many hands to help as lectors, ushers, parking lot team, sanitizing team, etc. If you could give a few hours before or after the Christmastime Masses, it would make an immense difference. See the gift certificate form below or call the parish office. Take this opportunity for you and your family to experience Christmas in a different way and give the gift of your time to make Christmas special for many others... |
Registering for the Christmas Suite of Masses
From Christmas Eve to the weekend after the Solemnity of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Jan 1 Holy Day), there are four Masses that would require reservations. Please coordinate with your families and send in this completed registration so we can do our best to "make room at the inn" for as many people as possible. We have a beautiful plan in place and, COVID pending, we should be able to accommodate all who wish to attend Masses during this Christmas Suite of Masses. Registration is open December 10-17. We will be unable to accept any late registrations, so please keep this deadline of December 17th in mind. |

DEVOTION OF THE MONTH - NOVEMBER
MONTH OF THE HOLY SOULSThe Catholic Church dedicates the entire month of November to praying in a special way for the Holy Souls in Purgatory. The Holy Souls (also called the Faithful Departed) are members of the Church who await the purification of their souls before joining the saints in heaven for all eternity. Specifically, they are referred to as the Church Suffering (the saints in heaven are the Church Triumphant, and the faithful on earth are the Church Militant).The poor souls in purgatory cannot pray for themselves or do anything to hasten their entrance into heaven, but we can and ought to pray for them as an act of charity. The feast of the Holy Souls is November 2nd. |
