A traditional Latin Mass will be held at the National Shrine of St. Alphonsus Liguori in Baltimore on November 17 at 10:30 a.m., followed by internment at 2 p.m. at Gate of Heaven Cemetery in Silver Spring.

Because of limited parking and accessibility challenges at the church, we understand that attending the church service in Baltimore may not be convenient for everyone. Please do not feel obligated to attend the Mass. Family and friends are warmly invited to join us directly at Gate of Heaven for the 2:00 p.m. interment, followed by a gathering at Mama Lucia on Village Center Dr., Olney, MD.

Kindly let us know if you will be joining us for the reception following the interment so we can plan accordingly. We look forward to spending time with you as we come together to enjoy good food, share cherished memories, and raise a glass in honor of Oliver and the beautiful life he lived.

We welcome you to attend any portion of Oliver’s celebration that works best for you. We know that travel logistics and timing are challenging, and we want everyone to feel comfortable joining us however they choose. We are grateful for all the love and support of family and friends.
