Message from Monsignor
Dear Friends,
In our Catholic tradition, there are the Corporal works of mercy derived from St. Matthew's Gospel, chapter 25. Feed the hungry, drink to the thirsty, shelter the homeless, visit the sick, release the captive and bury the dead. These are the “marching orders'' from Jesus. It is not about how we pray or dress or even how we go to Church. It is about our neighbors, not about ourselves. As Jesus says, “whatever you did for one of these least ones, you did for me.”
The Corporal Works of mercy are done from our Parish Community in the works of St. Vincent de Paul, the outreach to the Wellston Center, casseroles to St. Patrick Center, and numerous other charities our parishioners serve. Many in our parish community are unable to support these ministries, physically, but do so spiritually and financially.
One of the BIG Corporal Works of Mercy coming up is our Annual Day of Service, October 9. This day of service is as simple as baking cookies, writing greeting cards, or delivering a meal. Other, more robust works are done at the homes of needy individuals in the U City community. If you have not already volunteered your time and service, please consider doing so. All information is found on our Parish website. It is a wonderful opportunity to physically help another in need and love Our Lord in the giving.
Blessings

New and Existing Volunteers at Our Lady of Lourdes: There are lots of ways to volunteer at Our Lady of Lourdes and if your volunteer work involves working with children, (sports, school activities, scouts, children's liturgy) or working with adults in need (home bound, St. Vincent de Paul, etc.) we DO need your help! The Archdiocese of St. Louis has developed a new system for safe environment compliance called Prevent and Protect STL. Everyone ministering to minors and vulnerable adults (clergy, employees and volunteers) in the Archdiocese are required and asked to register in the new system. This includes those new to service and those who are currently in service. If you are new to volunteer, there are workshops via Zoom on the Prevent and Protect website. Please use the pass code stlprotect when registering. Be sure to complete all information/courses in order to be compliant.
