Dear Friends:
Welcome to the Our Lady of Lourdes Parish website. Know that online or in person, ours is a Parish welcoming everyone!
We're often referred to as 'the Parish without boundaries.' Folks regularly watching our daily online Masses come from places far and wide, including Australia, the Philippines, India, Ireland, Canada and all fifty states in the USA. All are truly welcome!
Our parish is made up of @ 3,000 families from Long Island and several thousand more who discovered our online Mass presence during the pandemic and became part of our online spiritual family.
Our purpose is pretty simple: to know Jesus Christ as fully and as intimately as we can. And we discover the path to Jesus, our brother and Lord, through the joyous relationship we share with Mary, His Mother and our patroness.
We attempt to live the richness of our faith in the context of a simple but deeply felt parish motto:
KINDNESS MATTERS.
Two simple words. But can you imagine the world we could create if those words were universally embraced and lived!?
Thank you for joining us here at Our Lady of Lourdes Parish. Know you are truly and wonderfully invited to share the faith and love we try to live and celebrate each week.
In the Lord of Life and Love,
Monsignor Jim Lisante
Pastor
