Our Mission

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.

CARITAS (Congregations Around Richmond Involved To Assure Shelter) was organized in the early 1980's to respond to the huge unmet need for emergency shelter for homeless adults in the cold winter months. With its name derived from the Latin word for charity, today CARITAS is the largest emergency shelter program in our community. More than 170 faith communities provide over 37,000 nights of shelter. The congregation-based model mobilizes thousands of volunteers annually. Could you be one of those volunteers? Help is desperately needed. Remember Jesus said "If you do this, to the least of my brothers (and sisters) you do it for me" For more information, contact Sr. Bernadette or call 804-262-7315 extension 228	Search Looking for something specific?
