Message from Monsignor
Dear Friends,
The Annual Celebration of Catholic Schools Week is being moved to the end of February. Hopefully, we will be able to gather more openly. We will still have our Open House next Sunday, January 30. If you are new to the Parish or you are aware of someone eligible for entry to our school, please encourage them to go to ucitylourdes.org and sign up for a tour. Or if they aren’t able to attend the open house, please call the school then come and see. Catholic Schools are the gift for the proclamation of the Gospel and the formation of young people in the ways of faith. Our school also prepares our children for further education. Our Lady of Lourdes School is built on three pillars: Faith, Community, and Academics. Our teachers and staff continue to build on these foundations. I am always impressed by the commitment and energy of teachers, staff, and Principal. As I talk with the parents of our school, these three pillars and the efforts of our staff are forever in the conversation. Thank you. Thank you.
I also bring to your attention that on the Feast day of Our Lady of Lourdes, February 11 we will be celebrating the Sacrament of Confirmation. So, pray for these young men and women that the Spirit en-kindle them the fire of God’s love. Along with this Sacrament, we will also celebrate the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick at all of the weekend Masses Please bring any of your sick neighbors to Church for this celebration.
Finally, you will be receiving your annual contribution statement in the mail. Thank you for the financial support you give Lourdes. As God has blessed us so abundantly may we continue to say thanks through our time, talent and treasure.
Our Lady of Lourdes pray for us,
Gratefully yours,
Msgr. REH

News and Events
The ACTS Community of Christ the King, Our Lady of Lourdes, and St Roch would like to invite you to Join fellow parishioners in exploring the Nicene Creed through Bishop Robert Barron’s 6-part film series and learning how this nearly 1700-year-old statement of faith has influenced Christian spirituality, theology, and liturgy throughout the world. How many times have you said The Creed at Mass and never given it a second thought? Now is a great time to gather with others, in person or virtually, and better understand what we are really saying in this personal statement of “belief”.
The 6-week series will be held on Wednesday nights at 7pm beginning on Ash Wednesday (March 2). We will meet in a COVID-appropriate “hybrid” way in the Our Lady of Lourdes Commons and virtually via a live Zoom connection to accommodate everyone’s personal preference. Please contact Mariana Salinas at 314-223-8041 or |
