Prayer for Our Parish Feast
Loving Father, as we celebrate Our Lady of
Lourdes, our Patroness, we thank you for the gift of our parish family. Through Mary’s intercession,
unite us in love and faith.
Heal what divides us, strengthen our families, and make our parish
a home of welcome, peace, and charity.
May we walk together as one family, always leading one another closer to Jesus. Our Lady of Lourdes, Pray for us.
Amen

“Behold, I will extend prosperity to her like a river" Isaiah 66
Today we joyfully celebrate the feast of Our Lady of Lourdes, our parish Patroness. When Mary appeared to St. Bernadette in 1858, she came in humility and simplicity, reminding us that God works through open and trusting hearts. Her message was clear and timeless: prayer, penance, and trust in God.
Lourdes has become a place of healing - not only of the body, but of the heart. Countless pilgrims have found peace, renewed faith, and hope through Mary’s intercession. The true miracle of Lourdes is conversion and a deeper love for Christ.
As a parish under her patronage, we are called to be a community of healing and hope. May we bring our burdens to Our Lady, trust in her son, and become instruments of God’s mercy to one another.
