Mission Statement
We are a Catholic Community whom God has called together through Baptism.
As part of Christ's Living Church, we welcome all to:
- Worship with us through our Liturgical Celebrations
- Learn with us the teachings of Jesus as we expand our discipleship
- Serve with us God's people inside and outside Our Lady of Lourdes Parish in a spirit of stewardship
- Gather with us to celebrate Christ's two great commandments of love.
