I pray that y'all are having a very blessed Lenten season.

It is with great joy that I announce to you that beginning this Saturday, March 25th, we will have a weekly Saturday 9am Mass in honor of the Blessed Mother. I have been praying about this for awhile and I believe that we need to turn to Our Lady more than ever and there is no better way to do that than to celebrate the Eucharist.

Please note that on Holy Saturday, April 8th, the only Mass allowed is the Easter Vigil which will be at 8:15pm.  There will be no 3pm Confessions that day nor the 5pm Mass.

I remind you that our Parish Lenten Reconciliation Service is this Thursday, March 23^rd at 11am.  There will be 10 priests here and I invite you to take advantage of the opportunity to make a holy confession. 

Lastly, if you have not yet made your pledge to the Bishop's Annual Appeal I invite you to do so by clicking the link below.  Currently we are at 34% of our Goal of $220,000 and we need the participation of all of our families and your support is greatly appreciated. Should you choose to pledge online, be sure to select Our Lady of Lourdes, Raleigh as your parish so that your contribution is counted towards our participation goal.

I am so very grateful for all that you do and I pray that God blesses you and your families abundantly.  Peace be with you.
