Many, many thanks to all who participated in our Corpus Christi Procession last Sunday.  What a wonderful way for our parish families of Our Lady of Lourdes and St. Francis Borgia who make up the Catholic Family in the City of Washington, to show our faith and belief in the real presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist. 

Happy Father’s Day!  We are blessed by our fathers, grandfathers, godfathers, and all who fill the role of father for us in our lives.  Today (Sunday) is also the co-parish Corpus Christi Procession. We hope to see you there!

Thank you for a wonderful celebration with Deacon Tim Reis at the 9:00 a.m. Mass last Sunday.  Tim did a great job on his first day of serving as a Deacon at Mass including preaching the homily! 

Congratulations to Deacon Tim Reis who was ordained a Permanent Deacon on Saturday, June 4th. All are invited to attend 9am Mass and celebrate at the reception following with Tim and his family on Sunday.

Happy Memorial Day Weekend!  As we observe this holiday, let us remember and pray for those who gave their lives while serving our country. 

Many thanks to all who joined us for breakfast last Sunday. Keep our graduates in your prayers!

Breakfast is served! Come on over to our Grade School Cafeteria on Sunday for a delicious breakfast while enjoying some fantastic company.

Happy Mother’s Day! On this day let us remember our Moms and all who filled that role for us.  We pray for them and thank God for the love, nurturing, care, and compassion they have shown us

Congratulations to Landon Beaman and George Volmert, two 8th grade students from our Parish who were recently recognized by the Respect Life Apostolate of the Archdiocese of St. Louis for the outstanding essays they submitted as part of the Respect Life Creative Writing Contest.

Our celebrations over the three days of the Triduum and Easter were very beautiful! Many, many thanks to all who helped to make all of this possible.

On behalf of Fr. Tony, our Deacons, and our parish staff, we wish you a Blessed Easter! 

As we celebrate Palm (Passion) Sunday, we enter into Holy Week.  Please take advantage of this week and make it a holy one for you.

Last weekend we were sorry to hear of the death of our beloved former Pastor, Msgr. Jack Costello. 

Let us continue to practice what the Lord calls us to during these Lenten days with prayer, fasting, and giving alms. Monday, March 28th at 6:30 p.m., we will hold our Combined Parish Penance Service at Our Lady of Lourdes.

Breakfast is served! Thanks to all of our breakfast volunteers and to our sponsors for generously sponsoring this month’s parish breakfast!

Thank you for your expressions of sympathy upon the death of my brother-in-law.  My sister, her daughters, and my entire family thank you for your prayers and kindness.

Welcome to the First Sunday of Lent. I hope and pray that these days of the Lenten season will help us grow in faith, hope, and love.

As we begin this Season of Lent, let’s pray that we can rid ourselves of anything that keeps our focus off of Christ and our relationship with Him.

What an honor and privilege it was last weekend at the Scout Sunday Mass for Fr. Tony and me to receive Scouting’s Bronze Pelican Award.

Thank you to all those who have updated their contact information this past week.
