Our Parochial Vicar, Fr. Pawel has graciously offered to lead our parish in a four-week Bible Study every Wednesday at 9:00am (concluding on June 18th).

We are so excited about this opportunity. Fr. Pawel is leading parishioners through the Books of Pentateuch (Books of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy) that feature the stories of Moses and the chosen people. Join Father Pawel on Wednesdays in the Seton Center following the 8:15 daily Mass at Lourdes.

Coffee and donuts will be served! All are welcome!

Eucharistic Ministers Training: Father Pawel and Deacon Stan will be holding a special training on Monday, June 23rd at 6:15pm at the Seton Center for anyone interested in bringing Holy Communion to the Sick & Homebound in our parish.

Our parish goal is to arrange for monthly visits to parishioners who are Sick and/or Homebound. We can do this with the help of generous volunteers who would like to serve as Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion. This training will focus on two categories of visitations: one group will be trained on how to bring Holy Communion to those at home; another group will be trained on how to bring Holy Communion to those in assisted living facilities. Anyone interested in serving as Extraordinary Eucharistic Ministers at Mass would be welcome to attend this training as well.
