Join us in Praying for the Poor Souls...
As has always been our practice, from November 1 to November 8, we will offer the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass for the repose of the souls of our benefactors who have died, as well as for the deceased relatives and friends of our benefactors.
If you would like to have the names of your beloved deceased included in this octave of Masses, please write them down (index card size) and send them to us to be placed on the Altar of Sacrifice.
May God reward you!

An indulgence, applicable only to the souls in Purgatory, is granted to the faithful, who devoutly visit a cemetery and pray, even if only mentally, for the departed. The indulgence offered is plenary each day from the 1st to the 8th of November; on other days of the year it is partial.
It is time we built a Niche for Our Lady
A Water Color of our Proposed Grotto
Thanks to your continued support, we are planning to build a beautiful Grotto to complement our parish and provide a place for our congregation to pray and light candles... but most especially to give honor to the highest honor of our race. For how can one have a church dedicated to Our Lady of Lourdes without a Grotto? We now have the plans according to which we hope to hollow out a place in the rock worthy of Our Lady of Lourdes. Yet, the planned Grotto is modest, with modest statuary to match our modest church. It will be a place of repose and meditation with a water feature set in beautifully landscaped hillside.

"There is no good merchant or good laborer, or soldier, or scholar who does not take care, and watch, and employ solicitude and undertake great trials, to increase his house, his clothing, his reputation, and all his property. If such men do this, all the more is it demanded of those who serve God in acquiring property to build churches and monasteries and to accumulate all they can for the service of souls and the glory of the divine Majesty." Statement of Carmelite General Fr. Rubeo allowing St. Teresa of Jesus to found new monasteries.
