OLA LOSS & GRIEF SUPPORT GROUP

You don’t have to walk through grief alone.

Losing someone we love can leave us feeling overwhelmed, lonely, and unsure of how to move forward. Sometimes, simply having a safe place to talk, to cry, to listen, or to be understood can make a difference.

The OLA Loss & Grief Support Group offers a warm, caring, and confidential space where you can share your feelings and walk alongside others who are experiencing the journey of grief.

You are not alone. You are welcome here. ❤️



🕖 Tuesdays at 7:00 PM

📧 To register: [email protected]

Space is limited, so please register today.



PLEASE NOTE:

There will be no group meetings on September 1, September 8, or September 15, 2026.

Our group will resume Tuesday, September 22, 2026, at 7:00 PM.

Whenever you are ready, we are here to listen and support you.

An Evening of Beauty, Reflection, and Eucharistic Revival at OLA on Tuesday, October 27, 2026 | 7 – 9:30 pm

Jesus said to her, 'Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.'" - John 4:13-14 (Jesus at the well).

The heart burns with a mysterious thirst; THE WELL is an invitation to quench that thirst. THE WELL engages the imagination and the senses with live music by Mike Mangione and the dynamic presentation of Christopher West, for a revival like you've never experienced before. Come, all who are thirsty, come to THE WELL!

This Night Quenches the Thirsty. This Night Changes Everything. The Well is not a talk. It’s not a concert. It’s an encounter—a night where beauty speaks louder than words, where music, story, and Eucharistic presence awaken something you may have forgotten was even there. It’s for anyone who has ever felt restless, numb, or tired of the noise—because this night cuts through the noise and reminds you that you were made for more.
