In December, Our Lady of Lourdes Cecelia's Choir presented
"A Family Messiah."
A shortened version of Handel's Messiah was presented by Our Lady of Lourdes Music Ministry including many of our own cantors, Cecelia's Choir and a small parishioner orchestra. It was excellent!
Many, many thanks to Brenda Accurso, our Music Director, for making it all happen!
The performance was recorded by Jimmie Brown and myself. We plan to show the video recording in the Bernadette Center classroom after the 9am Mass on January 19. Please join us! Free coffee and a very fine musical performance.

Breakfast with Santa
is an annual event provided by the OLLS Home And School Association (HASA) that includes pancakes, sausage, beverages, a craft, and of course, Santa Claus. This year’s breakfast was another success.
A very big thank you to the OLL Knights of Columbus for their help (as usual)!
