On this Day, Oh Beautiful Mother!
Happy Birthday, Blessed Mother! Today we celebrate the Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. What a beautiful day to meditate on everything Mary means to you and me! She is such an important part of our salvation history. She is my spiritual Momma! I hope she is yours too! Today's Wednesday Worship song is
On This Day, O Beautiful Mother. I remember this Traditional Catholic song from my childhood. It continues to hold a special place in my heart each time it is sung. A tradition that some Catholic families have is to have a birthday cake for the Blessed Mother on her birthday. This could be a new tradition that your family may want to adopt.
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday dear Blessed Mother,
Happy Birthday to you!
Fall Choir Opportunities
The choirs this fall are looking a bit different! Read on about two new music opportunities at Our Lady of Lourdes:
Pick Up Choir
We want to invite everyone to be a part of our "Pick-Up" Choir! The "Pick-Up" choir meets in the church in the choir area 45 minutes before the beginning of Mass. We will provide music, you bring your own Breaking Bread book.
The two dates for September are:
Sunday, September 12, 10:15 a.m. Mass (meet at 9:30 a.m.)
Sunday, September 26 at 8:15 a.m. (meet at 7:30 a.m)
We are looking forward to meeting you!
Bell Choir
My dream is to start a handbell choir. However, is there enough interest to begin a handbell choir? We would need 6 players and already have one person who has expressed interest. Anyone interested would need to be able to read music, treble clef, and/or bass clef as well as provide your own pair of handbell gloves. If gloves are needed they can be ordered for $4.50. Rehearsals would take place one or two Sunday mornings between the 8:15 a.m. and 10:15 a.m. Masses for approximately a half hour, once or twice a month. There would be the possibility of playing at Christmas.
Anyone with interest should contact Jody by calling the Parish Office by at 336-4033 or email jody@lourdesdepere.org.
