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! -
