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, and we are blessed with no fewer than 10 priests (!!!) who lead us in prayer and celebrate the sacraments with us. 

As we enter the month of September, we have lots in store. Most importantly, we are moving our Saturday liturgy to 4:00 pm. The Saturday liturgies as well as our Wednesday prayer services, are streamed on our YouTube channel.

Our intergenerational religious formation program (GIFT) begins this month, and please mark your calendars for October 11-13 for our Oktoberfest Artisan Fair—as we intertwine artisans, music, food, community, and fun. 

We’d love for you to be a part of our parish family. All are welcome!

Yours in Christ,
Deb Steppe
Parish Director
