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! -
Message from Fr. Greg
Well, I am here at Our Lady of Lourdes and settling in. As I said in my comments on the first weekend, there is this thing called the "learning curve." So, yes, I am learning my way around the parish and working on getting things figured out. I look forward to meeting more of you, and hope this can happen in time. As we are all aware, COVID has put a damper on the ease with which that would normally happen. In the meantime, let us keep on another in prayer. And in our prayer, let us ask the Lord for comfort and peace during these times which some are finding a bit distressing. May God bless our parish, and keep each of you under his constant care and protection!
