Our Lady of Lourdes Religious Education process strives to develop and cultivate the faith in every area of the life of a child and young adult.

The OCIA (formerly RCIA) is designed for adults who consciously and freely seek the living God in a process of conversion of the heart led by the Holy Spirit.

Our ministry aims to help the faithful adult to grow in both Human and Christian maturity as they are enriched by the study of Sacred Scripture. We enrich the living dimensions of the faith of an adult, for example, family life, relationships, public service, and concern for the common good. In other words, Adult Faith Formation is about learning and practicing our Faith.

As a Parish we “ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest” (Lk. 10:2). We pray that there will be vocations to the Priesthood and Religious Life from our Parish family.

The Vocation Chalice, a symbol of the intention to pray for vocations, is taken weekly by families or individuals who volunteer to pray for this intention during their daily prayer time. If you are interested in participating, please call the Parish Office to coordinate.
