OLL Car Parade Cheers Parishioners

OLL Parishioners waving to staff in car parade!

So the OLL Car parade got split into three different days - two in August and one in September.  As Melissa Gali-Bird, OLL Music Director and initiator of the parade said, "it is a wonderful way to show parishioners that we love them and are thinking of them!"

After calling parishioners, the staff realized that many parishioners, especially those who were stuck at home due to their age or risk, were lonely and needed some cheer.  Due to Covid and the safety directives, Melissa came up with the idea of a car parade!  Sometimes, folks just have to see your face!  So the car parade that contained a row of cars decorated with slogans such as "We Love Our Parishioners!"  and "We Miss You!"  rolled through the church neighborhood beeping horns and yelling Hello's to anyone who could hear!
