Parish Picnic Committee
The Parish Picnic Committee hosts an Annual picnic event that brings together the Parish community. If you are interested in volunteering to assist at this event, contact Linda Prpic: prpiclin@gmail.com.
Supper Club
Decide to come and share your culinary skills and creativity as a true gift to everyone who will enjoy the parish meals you help prepare on this team as we continue to build a strong parish community.
If you agree that cooking is more than just food; that it’s comfort, connection and care and your contribution will nourish both body and spirit, this is the place for you.
We look forward to the passion that you bring to this cause and can’t wait to see (and taste!) the magic you create.
If you are interested, contact Karen Felker at parishmanager@olota.ca.
Funeral Ministry
Our funeral ministry members assist bereaved families with the logistical arrangements of a reception and ensure a supportive space by creating a warm and welcoming environment for those in need during this difficult time.
We manage and coordinate a reception after the funeral service. It gives guests a chance to eat, talk and share memories while giving the family a chance to receive condolences.
This involves setting up our parish hall with tables, chairs, tablecloths and place settings as well as receiving the food from the caterer and preparing the coffee and tea.
Tidying up the hall when the family leaves and returning the hall to readiness for our mass services may be required.
If you are interested in this ministry, please contact Rosemarie Ortiz at bellaro1124@gmail.com.
55+ Club
If you are 55+ and are looking for community, fellowship, new friends, sharing in prayer and fun, this is the place for you.
Please join us monthly for our events.
Watch the bulletin, website and social media for a roster of our events starting in September 2026.
