Welcome to Our Lady of Lourdes!
Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church is located in the beautiful downtown historic area of Victoria, Texas. We are a small parish - a family of families - that is strengthened by celebrating the sacraments, especially the Eucharist. Together, we strive to grow in faith and loving service to God as we reach out to one another and to those beyond our parish community.
In addition to celebrating the Sacraments, we enjoy the simple things in life as a parish family: social gatherings, family events, parish festivals, planning meetings, and all those ordinary things that keep the wheels of a parish moving forward.
We invite you to learn more about our parish and, of course, we welcome you to join us! -
UPDATE - COVID-19 & MASS ATTENDANCE
Bishop Cahill has issued another directive regarding COVID-19 and how we, as a diocese, will proceed. This directive updates the previous directive, whereby, a dispensation from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass was granted. This dispensation is no longer in effect as of October 1, 2020.

CATHOLIC CITIZENSHIP & YOUR VOTE
Election day is fast approaching. As Catholics, we believe in the importance of participating in the voting process. "Who" is in office makes a difference in the direction a nation will take as laws are enacted. Our place in this as voting citizens cannot be overstated. When considering the many issues facing us as a nation, it is critical that we, as Catholics, approach our responsibility to vote with an informed conscience. The Diocese of Victoria is providing information to aid us in this process. To access this information, please click on the following link: Catholic Citizenship & Your Vote.
