Our Mission Statement

Our Lady of Lourdes Parish is the People of God gathered and united as a family through celebration of the liturgy, the study of Scripture and the pursuit of our mutual goal: eternal life.

Our parish mission is to pray, to study, to teach and to serve as Jesus did. We strive to love one another so that we all rejoice in times of joy, share in times of prosperity, give comfort in times of stress and help in times of need. Relying on the Providence of God and asking for guidance of the Holy Spirit, we continue Christ's mission on earth through our parish ministries - giving generously of ourselves, our blessings and our talents. Through such gifting, we build up the Body of Christ in our parish, in our community, in our archdiocese and in our world.

On behalf of our wonderful accounting committee, we strongly urge you to consider using the Advanced Express Pay option for the upcoming auction. It is EASY (no need to bring anything to the party) and SECURE (only Alex Pawlik will have access, and credit information will be kept in the rectory safe). The auction accountants thank you in advance!

Last, if you are interested in hosting a “sign up” party to support OLOL, we would love to hear your idea. We are working on the auction program now so please contact Stacy Gund or Joyce Walsh.

Thank you for supporting our school.
