For the Spirit of healing: that God will touch all who are burdened with illness, weakness and in need, especially; For all who are sick, we pray for Barb Allan; Marcia Coluccio, mother of Greg Coluccio; Bill Simpson, brother of Marilee Simpson; Peter Daly, cousin of Becky Mullin; Hanny Susanto; Mike Costello & Mike Lennon, brother and brother-in-law of Paul Costello; Marty Miller; Gary Lydum; Dick Mitchell; Tom Wilson, cousin of Pam Thomas; and Lynne O. May the Lord in his mercy be close to them with his healing power and his tender love May God’s healing Spirit renew them in body, mind, and spirit so that they may live fully, enjoy their relationships and appreciate all of God’s gifts. And those inscribed in the Book of Prayers. May the healing love of the Spirit touch them and bring them to wholeness.
For those who have died, especially Joe Coluccio, uncle of Greg Coluccio. That Christ may welcome them into the fullness of life where sorrow and pain exist no more.
We invite you to email Jody Fitts to add names to the prayer list.

Dear Friends of SVDP,
Many thanks to OLL School – students, parents, teachers, and staff – for the amazing donation of food and grocery gift cards for our Pantry! Especially during this time of keeping our distance, wearing masks, and staying safe, the School found a way to ensure that they would help our neighbors most in need. You are a tangible reflection of Christ in our midst!
The help OLL SVDP provided financially (the majority in rent) over the last 3 months is:
Oct $4160
Nov $7000
Dec $1300 (first 3 days of Dec.)
As in past years, we will provide Christmas Food Boxes (including a ham or turkey) to 25 families we visited this past year. The donations to our Pantry will help tremendously.
Centro Rendu sent OLL a huge thanks for their donation to the diaper drive that occurred a couple of months ago. We were 1 of 8 Conferences that helped them secure thousands of diapers. They are so grateful!
Christmas blessings,
OLL SVDP Conference

Kairos Puget Sound Coalition, of which Our Lady of the Lake Parish is a member, is making an appeal that we consider donating to a Palestinian organization during this time of Christmas. The Palestinian people have been hit terribly by Covid and the complete shutdown of tourism, which is their economic lifeline. Kairos recommends a donation to one of the following:
- Friends of Tent of Nations - click HERE.
- Holy Land Trust, a partner of Non-Violence International - click HERE.
- Middle East Children’s Alliance - click HERE.
Many thanks in advance for your generosity.
