Celebrating 70 Years of Our Lady of Lourdes
As we continue celebrating our parish’s 70th anniversary, we give thanks for the grace‑filled months we’ve already shared together.
Throughout 2026, Our Lady of Lourdes is joyfully marking this milestone year honoring seven decades of faith, community, and service.
With six months of beautiful moments behind us and more meaningful events still ahead, we look forward to gathering
as a parish family in gratitude for all God has done and in hope for the future He continues to shape.
May the remainder of this anniversary year be filled with joy, connection, and renewed faith.

November
...a time to celebrate our saints and honor all souls...
November is a special month in our Church as we celebrate the saints and lovingly remember all souls who have gone before us. Throughout the month, the Book of the Names of the Deceased, containing the names of all members of our parish family who have died during the past year, will be placed in the sanctuary. May it serve as a prayerful reminder of those we hold dearly in our hearts and entrust to God's eternal care.
We remember. We celebrate. We believe!
