Our Mission

We, the faith community of Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Parish, strive to live, share, and be Christ in all we do.

History

Bishop Chatard found that the property of Mr. and Mrs. John Cusak, at 5317 E. Washington Street, was available, practical and affordable for the new church. On July 10th, the property was purchased for $2,600.00. It was not until November 10th that Father Joseph Poelhuis of Holy Cross Parish was named as the Pastor of the new parish.
