Paint Night Held At Our Lady of the Assumption Church

A release from the Lynnfield Catholic Collaborative:

LYNNFIELD, Ma. – A Paint Night was held at Our Lady of the Assumption parish on Aug. 16 as part of the Lynnfield Catholic Collaborative’s Holistic Health Speaker and Event Series.

Gina Kolenda, a renowned local watercolor artist and teacher who happens to also be an OLA parishioner, led the enthusiastic group of painters, who ranged in ages and in levels of experience. Since the subject of their painting would be the Annisquam Lighthouse in Gloucester, Gina began the evening with a prayer she wrote with a lighthouse theme. “I consider painting to be a way of praising God,” Gina explained.

The next event in the Lynnfield Catholic Collaborative’s holistic health series is entitled “Ministry and Mental Health: What Feeds Your Spirit?” and will be held on September 7, at 5:15 pm in Our Lady of the Assumption’s Church Hall at 758 Salem Street, Lynnfield. It will feature a presentation by Peg Sallade, the Substance Use Prevention Coordinator for A Healthy Lynnfield.

The presentation is free of charge and all are welcome. For more information or to RSVP to that event, please contact Kate McGrath, Lynnfield Catholic Collaborative’s Pastoral Care Coordinator, at kmcgrath@ola-smg.org or 781-598-4313 x224.
