Embracing Our Mission: Introducing Our New Pastoral Strategic Plan
Dear Parishioners of Our Lady of Lourdes,
With hearts full of gratitude and hope, we are excited to unveil our new Pastoral Strategic Plan, a Spirit-guided roadmap to deepen our faith, strengthen our community, and live out the Gospel with renewed purpose. Rooted in prayer and shaped by the voices of our parish family, this plan reflects our shared commitment to grow as disciples of Christ and extend His love to all.
Our Strategic Plan is built upon four foundational pillars, each designed to nurture our spiritual life and mission as a vibrant Catholic community:
- Ensuring Pastoral Care: We are dedicated to accompanying every parishioner with compassion, offering spiritual guidance, sacramental support, and care in times of joy and need. From vibrant liturgies to counseling and outreach, we strive to be a beacon of Christ’s mercy and healing.
- Connecting Parishioners with Active Ministry: Every member of our parish has unique gifts to share. Through diverse ministries—liturgical, service, and social—we invite all to actively participate, fostering a sense of belonging and purpose as we serve God and one another.
- Creating a Culture of Faith Sharing: Inspired by the call to evangelization, we seek to cultivate an environment where faith is boldly shared. Through small groups, retreats, and community events, we encourage open dialogue, personal testimonies, and a deeper encounter with Christ.
- Continuing Our Dedication to Our Lady of Lourdes School: Our school remains a cornerstone of our mission, forming young hearts and minds in faith and excellence. We commit to supporting its outstanding work, ensuring a Christ-centered education that prepares students to lead with virtue and wisdom.
We invite you to join us in this exciting journey! Learn more about our Strategic Plan, explore opportunities to get involved, and share your gifts as we build a future rooted in faith, hope, and love. Together, let us make Our Lady of Lourdes a shining light for our community and beyond.
In Christ’s Love,
The Pastoral Council
