Our Lady’s Center 50th Anniversary Mass and Celebration

Sunday Mass at 1:00 pm celebrated by Bishop Joseph L. Coffey of the Archdiocese for the Military. We will also be welcoming newly-ordained transitional deacon Jamie Lancelotta, grand-nephew of OLC’s founder! The Our Lady of Fatima Statue will then be processed to the Chapel, and the Chapel will be blessed and rededicated. Get your tickets here!

A catered reception will follow with heavy hors d’oeuvres from Tino’s, DJ, presentations on the history of OLC (dating back to the 16th century in Italy!) as well as lots of time to connect with other patrons and many priests and to share stories of our love for this little but mighty Marian Shrine. Everyone will also get an opportunity to tour our newly-renovated and beautified chapel!

Admission will be by pre-purchased tickets ONLY. SEATING IS LIMITED, so purchase your tickets as soon as possible. Limit: two tickets per family please to give as many patrons as possible a chance to attend (you’ll have the option to cover the processing fees, which we really appreciate too). If you would like to cover the admission of a priest, donate $40 more.

All events will take place outside on the grounds of Our Lady’s Center, rain or shine. A large tent will be erected to accommodate attendees. Please dress appropriately for Sunday Mass and the weather conditions. Parking will be at a nearby parking lot with a shuttle bus. Be sure to allow time to park and travel in. A limited number of spaces will be available for handicap parking. The Gift Shop will be open from 10 am for early arrivers. Let us know about dietary restrictions, and we will do our best to accommodate.
