Jesus brings life to Our Lady of Victory Church when He says “I am the vine, you are the branches.” Guided by the Holy Spirit in the Roman Catholic tradition, we are called to minister to the spiritual formation as well as the emotional, physical, and social needs of our members and the community at large. We imitate Mary whose faith led her to accept God’s mission so that we may live out our mission. As Mary serves as a model of hope for us, we as people of hope remain as life-giving branches on the vine.
UPDATE: OLV will host its second COVID Vaccine Clinic in the parish Hall on Saturday, May 15th from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm. If you know of someone in our local community who has not been able to get the vaccine, please let them know. They do not need to be parishioners of OLV to get the vaccine.

EMAIL SCAMMERS
Email scammers have again created an email account to make it appear as though Fr. Bill is contacting people to solicit donations/gift cards. The latest email contains text similar to this…
Hi, How Are You?
I Need Your Help?
Please Let Me Know If You Get This
Peace,
Fr. Bill Keown
THESE ARE SCAM E-MAILS!
Please do not respond to these people!
If you receive an email from Fr. Bill or any staff member asking you to buy gift cards or to send them money, please be aware that this is not from anyone on OLV staff and that it is someone attempting to scam your money. If we ask for donations it will be via the parish bulletin or during announcements at Mass.
If an email looks suspicious, please do not respond to it.
If you are ever in doubt about an email from Fr. Bill or anyone at the parish, please call the parish office at 410-242-0131 to check whether or not it came from the parish.
