We have a ministry for every walk of life! Review our ministries, below:
Are you a middle or high schooler looking to grow deeper in your faith, ask questions and walk with Catholic friends on the adventure of following Christ? Then youth ministry at Lourdes might be the place for you! We offer both middle and high school youth ministry year round and have a variety of ways to get involved including youth nights, socials, small groups, service opportunities, retreats, conferences and pilgrimages!
“If we acknowledge our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive our sins and cleanse us from every wrongdoing.” 1 John 1:19
As Catholics, we have a responsibility to learn about the richness of our faith. Lucky for Lourdes, we have several avenues to make this happen. Family faith formation and RCIA (Right of Christian Initiation for Adults) are two excellent examples we offer to grow in the knowledge of the Faith. We incorporate first reconciliation, first Holy Communion, and confirmation in various ways, depending on your individual story. Whether you have an age-appropriate young person to receive the sacraments (3rd–5th graders), or you are a recent convert to the Faith and want to make it official, we have the tools to set you up with the Keys of the Kingdom. Fill out the inquiry form, below, to specify your formative needs:
“In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘it is more blessed to give than to receive.’” – Acts 20:35
Liturgical ministries are the invisible heartbeat of the Mass. They are also a necessary function of the Mass, for which we are always in need, and forever grateful. If you have a heart for commitment—to be part of the action behind the scenes—this might be the ministry for you. Some examples of liturgical responsibilities include, arriving early for Mass preparation, preparing altar servers and priests with incense and microphones, setting up the altar and pulpit, marking readings and Prayers of the Faithful, seeking other sacristans to ensure coverage of Masses, queuing ushers, arranging the presentation of the gifts during the offertory, attending regular liturgical meetings, checking people in, and making things run smoothly in general. If this sounds like the love language for you, please inquire, below:
What is more pro-life than supporting families in our parish gatherings through occasional childcare volunteerism at the 8:00 AM Mass for Children’s Liturgy of the Word or large group events? We always have a place for helpful hands! Interested? Please fill out the interest form, below:
Becoming Catholic is one of life’s most profound and joyous experiences. Some are blessed enough to receive this great gift while they are infants, and, over time, they recognize the enormous grace that has been bestowed on them. OCIA (Order of Christian Initiation for Adults) is a series of classes taught by our very own Pastor, Father Brian. We recommend this class to anyone interested in learning more about the Faith, whether you are brushing up on your knowledge as a Cradle Catholic, you are brand new to the Faith, or you are simply curious about Catholicism in general. We guarantee, you can never know too much about the Catholic Faith! OCIA takes place on Wednesday nights from 6:30–8:30 PM from September through Easter. Want to join? Please, inquire below:
