OLP Church Doors and Safety
As we are always looking out for the safety and well-being of our children, the parish team has made the decision to lock the church doors during school masses. This is just and extra precaution towards our goal of safety. If you or your child should arrive late, you can be buzzed in through the church office ONLY. No one will be admitted to church through any other door once the children have gathered in church.
Your help and cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated.
