The Parish is proud to have established a beautiful memorial opportunity for parishioners and friends. The OLAP Crypt, constructed in 2001, provides a place of dignity and serenity to pay tribute to departed loved ones.

OLAP families now have a lasting, personalized tribute for up to six individuals in a one-of-a-kind combination of dignity and affordability. It is a place for niches that will either hold the bones or the ashes of the dead in an urn, in a garden type setting. Each family space is walled and beautified with a handsome Italian granite marker.  The crypt, securely maintained and guarded by “angels,” is well-lighted and well-ventilated.  A calming waterfall adds beauty and tranquility to the entire place.

The Ossuary located at the bottom of the left side access to the main church is a coveted final resting place for loved ones if daily Mass offering and prayers are desired for them. Unlike big columbariums, the OLAP Ossuary, small as it is, affords exclusivity and quiet atmosphere to those who visit their departed loved ones.
