The High School Youth Group is sponsoring a Coat Drive to help those in need in our local community. Teen members will be at the entrances to the church and in the Parish Family Center to accept new or gently used coats (cleaned if at all possible) for all ages and sizes, before and after each Mass during the weekend of October 19th & 20th. Please mark coats that have been cleaned. New hats, gloves, mittens, and scarves will also be accepted. Teens interested in helping collect and organize coats should contact Rob Carlin at (917) 757-5953 or rcarlin@ourladylake.org.
On Sunday, October 20th, after the 11:45 Mass, everyone is invited to attend the blessing and dedication of the Mike Hackett Memorial and the Blessing of the Pieta statue. Many of you will remember Mike as the faithful caretaker of the parish property for many years. He had a great gift and talent for giving us an Irish green lawn! The Pieta was given to us by the Venerini Sisters who had it on their Prospect St. property in Fitchburg before it was sold. Please come celebrate the goodness of it all!
There will be a Public Square Rosary for Peace held on Saturday, October 5th at noontime, at the Gazebo in Lunenburg Center. Please come and join us in praying for peace in our world through the intercession of our Blessed Mother.
