The primary function of the Altar Society is for the care and upkeep of the altars, sacristy and sanctuary along with supplying the wine, hosts, candles, linens and flowers. Other activities include:  hosting the receptions for First Communion, Confirmation, RCIA candidates after the Easter Vigil Mass, and graduating seniors.  Members also provide bereavement support by leading the Rosary for deceased parishioners and assisting in the serving of food after funerals.

The Altar Society sponsors several fundraisers each year to support these projects.

Membership is open to all ladies of the parish at least 18 years of age.  Dues are $2.00 per year and meetings are held the Monday following the third Sunday of each month (except June, July, and August).

We invite you to join this great organization which cares for our Father’s House.


 

 

 

Our Lady of Lourdes Outreach Ministry was initiated in 2008 to express the support of the Parish for those in need of prayer, and to remind them that they are remembered, by name, during every Sunday Liturgy.  The Outreach Ministry sends get-well cards or cards of encouragement, in the name of Our Lady of Lourdes Parish Family, to those individuals on the weekly prayer list in the bulletin.  Sympathy cards are sent to the family of those who have been on the prayer list and have gone to their heavenly home. Anyone interested in more information about long-term participation in this ministry, please contact the Rectory.
