Bernadettes (Women's Group)
Contact: Shelly von der Lancken | shellyvonder@gmail.com. The Bernadettes is not an exclusive club. Any woman of Our Lady of Lourdes Parish is already a member. The women assist in the work of existing activities such as Meals for the Rectory, the weekly Rosary, Eucharistic Adoration, Advent Candle Program and in organizing speaker programs, social activities and prayer times. The Bernadettes' Organization Mission: Guided by Mary, the immaculate mother of God, who appeared to Bernadette, the women of Our Lady of Lourdes Parish come together to share our faith and lives with each other and provide services to the parish and the greater St. Louis community. The Bernadettes was formed as an organization for all the women of our parish (all ages, single, married, with or without children, etc.). Members can choose the activities that they wish to attend. The main objective is to provide enjoyable ways to strengthen relationships with those you already know and to get to meet new women in the parish. The Bernadettes Spirituality Committee All women of the parish are invited to participate in any of the following offerings:
We always are in need of extra hands, especially with publicity. If you are interested in helping out, please contact Mary Burke. Those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. -Isaiah 40:31 |
