Light refreshments will be served in the OLP Hall

PARISH FLEA MARKET
OLP RECTORY SALE
9:00 A.M.-4:00 P.M.
CHANGE OF DATES
Monday, May 11th & Tuesday, May 12th
At this Yard Sale/Flea Market, we will be selling lots
of things left over from previous Flea Markets,
items given to our parish to sell, items left over
from Christmas Bazaars, items left behind from
priests who have lived at OLP, personal items that
Father Feeney is getting rid of, especially lots of
Christmas and Easter Decorations.
These items will be sold in the area in front of
Church.
We will not be renting tables; we are just trying to
clean out a whole lot of junk and “treasures”
that are cluttering up the rectory, school, church
basement, rectory basement, convent basement
and other nooks and crannies at OLP.
We are having this sale during the week because
we have many upcoming weddings on the
weekends in May & June. No bride or groom
wants a Flea Market in front of Church on their
Wedding Day. Once, Memorial Day arrives lots of
our parishioners head to the shore for the summer
so we want to get rid of things before the summer.
One person’s junk is another person’s treasure and
boy do we have Junk & treasures for you.
