Welcome

Dear Parishioners, School Families, PSR Families and Friends,

In the peace of Christ, the divine physician, I reach out to our families and our dear children to express my prayers and concern for each of you. Together, we are in solidarity with Christ our Savior, His holy Church and with one another. We, the living stones of the Church, continue to build a world filled with love, joy and peace in the midst of confusion, fear, sickness and death.  Let us remember all in our daily prayers!

At the same time, we must be vigilant and keep the social distancing we are asked to do by the civil authorities out of concern for our global family.  Be assured that I will keep all of us informed of any significant changes or information here at Our Lady of Lourdes Church or throughout the Archdiocese of New Orleans.  

Presently, I wish to share an item or two.  First, please know that the rectory is NOT CLOSED.  You can call the rectory phone number, 985-643-4137, between 9am and 3pm, Monday through Thursday, if you wish to speak to a person.  Be sure to leave a message if no one answers. Someone will return the call. 

As always, you can reach a priest 24/7 by calling the aforementioned phone number listed above and follow the instruction if you need a priest in case of sickness or death.

Please be aware that your spiritual lives are of most importance to the priests.  and that we desire to be present for you and your families – for all your spiritual and pastoral needs.  We are here for you and your families, as always!

OLL COMMUNICATION: Updates come to your email box reguarly via Constant Contact and Flocknote to keep you informed of what's happening at Our Lady of Lourdes Church.
