Our Lady of 

Lourdes Church

Dear Parishioners, OLL School Families and Friends of the Parish:

As I write this letter, I remember you and prayed that everyone had a meaningful and Blessed Thanksgiving Day celebration while staying safe for yourselves and your loved ones. OLL’s Thanksgiving Mass was well attended as we continue to observe safety protocols amidst the surge in covid-19 and the strong winds arrived before noon when no one was around but myself.

Advent is here in a day. Here’s an update on our Liturgical Services:
