There are many services offered to the community here at Our Lady of Lourdes Church. No one particular service is more important than the other, and although this is true, we are most passionate about preparing our brothers and sisters in receiving the Sacraments of the Catholic Church. The Sacraments are so important because they make the power of the Paschal Mystery of Jesus present to us for the sake of salvation. By these seven channels of divine grace, God makes us his adopted children and increases his life of grace within us.
La iglesia de Nuestra Señora de Lourdes ofrece una amplia variedad de servicios a la comunidad. No hay un servicio más importante que otro, pero aunque esto sea cierto, lo que mas nos apasiona es la preparación sacramental de nuestros hermanos y hermanas para ser recibidos en plena comunión en nuestra Iglesia Católica. Los sacramentos son muy importantes porque hacen presente el poder del Misterio Pascual de nuestro Señor Jescucristo en nosotros para nuestra salvación. Por medio de estos siete intrumentos de la gracia divina, Dios nos hace sus hijos adoptivos y aumenta la vida de gracia en nosotros.
