Family of Faith

Thank you for your commitment to the Family of Faith Campaign and those parishioners who extended their pledge by one year in our ‘Match the Gift’ Campaign.

Although our renovations have finished there is still a balance owing to the archdiocese. As a result we are most grateful to our parishioners for continuing to fulfill your pledge so that we have
the money required to pay down our debt.

1. If someone has hurt themselves or fainted but is breathing please DO NOT disrupt the Mass if it is determined that the person’s condition is serious enough to warrant professional assistance then call 911.

2. If the person is NOT BREATHING, please stand up, interrupt the Mass and in a clear voice announce that we have a medical emergency. Ask that someone call 911 and give location of OLPH Church (St. Clair & Mt. Pleasant Rd) and immediately ask that someone else go to the sacristy to get the parish defibrillator and begin to treat the person appropriately for the condition until help arrives.
