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 November, we will celebrate All Saints at 12:00 pm (noon) on Friday, November 1.

Each year we take time to remember in a special way those who have gone before us. Our Lazarus Service of Remembrance, a prayer service dedicated to those of our parish family who have died in the last year takes place on Monday, November 18, at 7:00 pm.

Of course we celebrate the most spiritual of national holidays, Thanksgiving. Our Thanksgiving liturgy takes place at 9:00 am on Thanksgiving Day. As a way of celebrating, in a special way, our connection with one another as a parish family, attendees of the Thanksgiving Mass are invited to participate in a bread exchange.  You may bring a loaf of your favorite bread (homemade or bakery) with your name and phone/email to share with another family and receive a loaf to take home. 

November is also the time when we begin our budgeting process for next year. All parishioners are asked to complete their pledge card (either the paper one or online). Whether you can increase your donations, keep them the same, or need to reduce them, the pledge information is important and necessary as we plan for next year. Thanks in advance for taking care of this.

Please join us for our weekend liturgies every Saturday at 4:00 pm and Sundays at 8:00 am and 10:30 am. We also have Mass or a Communion Service every Wednesday at 9:30 am. The Saturday liturgies as well as our Wednesday prayer services, are streamed on our YouTube channel.

Yours in Christ,
Deb Steppe
Parish Director
