Dear Lourdes Parishioners,
Happy Catholic Schools Week- the week of January 29th! Parents have lots of choice when it comes to education, and we are grateful they choose Catholic Schools and Lourdes, specifically! This week, first and foremost, we celebrate our faith and the gift and opportunity we have to pray together as a school community. Secondly, we celebrate our families and their role as primary teachers of their children and community builders and supporters. We celebrate the gift of education and our fantastic faculty and staff. And last, but not least, we celebrate our students. They bring smiles to our day and call us to be our best. We are excited to have families and grandparents with us this week, to take the chance to serve those in need, and to beat the eighth graders in a game of volleyball! A big thanks to our PTA, our parents and volunteers, and each of you for your support as we celebrate the gift of Catholic Schools!
Blessings,
Sarah Walker

The ACTS Community of Our Lady of Lourdes, Christ the King, and St. Roch would like to invite you to join fellow parishioners in exploring Bishop Robert Barron’s 6-part video series “Untold Blessing”. Now is a great time to gather with others, in person or virtually, to better understand how we can follow Jesus’s call to holiness in our everyday lives. Bishop Barron shares that our ultimate goal is to be a saint. It is our greatest calling and what is desired for us by our Creator. Holiness is not just for the ordained or a select few. Jesus Christ issues a “universal call to holiness” based on his teaching in the Gospel of Matthew to “be perfect, even as your heavenly Father is perfect.”
The 6-week series will be held on Wednesday nights at 7pm beginning on Ash Wednesday (February 22). There are two options for attendance: either in-person at the Our Lady of Lourdes Commons or virtually via a live Zoom group. Please register at:

The Archdiocese has published the summaries of the responses from the Parish Listening Sessions and follow-up survey.
The announcements of plans for parishes will not be made until Pentecost, which is May 28, 2023. In the interim, and based on this feedback, the strategic planning office will recommend changes and refinements to these models to Archbishop Rozanski for his final decisions and approvals.
See the attachment for the Our Lady of Lourdes feedback summary. The summaries for all parishes will be uploaded to allthingsnew.archstl.org sometime next week, but we have permission to share ours with you now.
Women of the Parish:
Wellston Center has a great need for feminine hygiene products and women's adult diapers (size L and XL). Please leave them in the box in the cloister walk.
