Visitation Ministry

The Visitation Ministry offers Holy Communion and Anointing of the Sick (Last Rites) to the homebound and those in care facilities.

If you or a loved one would like to receive these sacraments due to illness, surgery, or end of life, please contact the Parish Office (503-636-7687 or office@ollparish.com) to request a minister.

Prayer Shawl Ministry

 

The Prayer Shawl Ministry provides comfort to those who are sick, in grief, or need affirmation by wrapping them in a handmade shawl. Each shawl is unique and has prayer intentions filled with comfort, hope and God’s love. Volunteers combine their love of knitting with compassion into a prayerful ministry and spiritual practice.  


The Prayer Shawl Ministry meets the first Saturday of each month in the Parish Center from 10:00am to 12:00pm to share knitting designs, stories, and prayers. The ministry accepts donations of cash and yarn.


To obtain a prayer shawl or be a part of this ministry, please contact the office at 503-636-7687 or office@ollparish.com.

 

Funeral Luncheon Ministry

Parish volunteers provide an informal luncheon for family and friends to honor the life of their loved one. The luncheon occurs in the Parish Hall following a Funeral Mass or Memorial Service.


It is planned with parish staff and the family in advance. Donations are appreciated, but not necessary. Checks can be made to Our Lady of the Lake, marked for Funeral Luncheon Ministry.


If you would like to volunteer or learn more about this ministry, please contact the Parish Office at 503-636-7687 or office@ollparish.com.

Grief Support Ministry

Grief Ministry provides personal support for those who have lost a loved one.  Special programs are offered during the fall, winter, and spring, providing knowledge, tools, and a community of others to understand and work through grief during the holidays and other times of the year. 

 

For more information as to when sessions are held, please contact the parish office at 503-636-7687 or office@ollparish.com
