LANGLEY PARK SCHOOL SUPPLY DRIVE:
Back to school already?! It’s the 15th year for this wonderful opportunity to help kids get a boost in starting their school year. OLOM partners with St. Elizabeth’s and St. Camillus to provide uniforms and priority school supplies for the elementary School students in the Catholic Community of Langley Park so that each child feels prepared for the new school year. Collections at Mercy will be on the weekends of late July a.d early August. Collection boxes will be in the main church entrance area before and after Masses.
Volunteers will be needed in August.

In August 2008 OLOM joined the parishes of St. Elizabeth, St. Camillus, and the mission church of the Spanish Catholic Community of Langley Park in a parish partnership. This partnership is committed to developing a relationship among our parishes based on sharing our Catholic traditions and spirituality, the special and varied talents of our respective communities, and the blessings we can offer each other.
Ways you can become active in the partnership:
Fluency in Spanish is appreciated but not necessary!
