Lent at OLL...a time to return to JOY!
Lent invites us to step back from daily distractions and focus on our relationship with God. While often associated with darkness and reflection, Lent also presents opportunities for joy, which are found in the Sunday Gospels. As we mark our parish's 70th anniversary, we'll highlight joyful moments each week as reminders of God's presence, encouraging everyone to "return to Joy" this season and beyond.

Celebrating 70 Years of OLL
In 2026, Our Lady of Lourdes will joyfully celebrate its 70th anniversary as a parish - a milestone that honors decades of faith, community, and service. To mark this special occasion, we’re planning a series of meaningful events throughout the year, each designed to bring our parish family together in gratitude for our past and hope for our future. It’s shaping up to be a truly memorable celebration of who we are and all that God has done through this community of faith.

FEDERAL SCHOLARSHIP
TAX CREDIT ADVOCACY
Beginning in 2027, a new federal law will allow taxpayers to redirect a portion of their federal taxes—at no out‑of‑pocket cost—toward Catholic school scholarships through a dollar‑for‑dollar tax credit, but for Long Island students to benefit, Governor Hochul must opt in, making it important for New Yorkers to urge her to do so; CLICK HERE for more information.
