Dear friends and visitors,

Welcome to the website of Our Lady of Lourdes Congregation!

We are a growing, caring community of disciples striving to live out the Gospel as we work to create God’s kin-dom.

We are a unique parish. Canon Law 517.2 allows for people other than priests to lead parishes. Because of this, I as a lay woman, am the shepherd of our parish. We are blessed with a permanent deacon and ten priests who lead us in prayer and celebrate the sacraments with us.

After the deeply prayerful days of Lent, we are rejoicing in the new life of Easter. In the next couple of months, we are celebrating the Sacraments of Baptism, First Eucharist, and Confirmation. New life abounds!

Please join us for liturgy or check us out online. We stream our Saturday 4:00pm Mass as well as Wednesday prayer reflections and other offerings. They all can be found on our YouTube Channel. Click here to access those offerings.

Know that everyone is always welcome here at Our Lady of Lourdes.

Yours in Christ,
Deb Steppe
Parish Director
