Our Lady of Lourdes parish is a community of faith dedicated to living the spirit of Jesus Christ through the practice of our Roman Catholic tradition. Our mission is to communicate the message of Christ’s redeeming love to those lives we touch in the parish and throughout the community. With the use of our time, talent and treasure we support our church, parochial school, christian formation programs, social ministry and spiritual growth. We ask for the continued blessings and intercession of our patroness, Mary, Our Lady of Lourdes.
