Celebrate
and be part of the miracle of the rebuilding and reopening of
Our Lady of Lourdes Church. It was in 1858 that Bernadette
witnessed 18 apparitions. The beautiful lady told her to have a
church built on the site. Guided by faith, she went to the
clergy for help. It was not until the lady revealed herself
as the “Immaculate Conception”, that anyone heeded her
pleas.
Six
months after hurricane Katrina, 2 parishioners met and promised
each other to do everything they could to reopen our church. The 2
became 4, the 4 became 8 and so on until a year later in February
of 2007, a large group gathered for a mass in our cold and gutted
church. We honored Our Lady of Lourdes on her feast day
warmed by the flames of faith and joy.
In
April of 2008 we received our miracle of being allowed to begin
the process of rebuilding. It has been a long and tedious
time, but like Bernadette over 150 years ago, our prayers were
heard and with the help of Our Lady of Lourdes our prayers were
answered.
The
task is not yet complete. We come to you for help and the
sacrifice of your time, talent and treasure. We are
beginning with a pew drive, since pews were not in the budget
for the church building, as are many other things needed to have
masses and other celebrations. There is no time so little, talent not distinct or donations too small that it will not
make a big difference.
Through
the FAITH of our ancestors, the HOPE of our visions and the LOVE of our God, we have confidence that the miracle will be
complete…BUT… WE NEED YOU!
Be
a part of our family. Be a part of our miracle. Be a
part of Our Lady of Lourdes…
