With consistent devotions prayed throughout the week, Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church provides a place and structure of worship for parishoners who seek intecessory prayer.
A statue of Our Lady of Lourdes greets visitors as they come closer to the magnificent structure. A statue of Resurrected Christ and a fountain of cool, flowing water brings humility and hospitality to an otherwise overwhelming architecture. The white gated entrance that surrounds the building is more decorative than functional since all are welcome within.
The Garden of the Resurrection is humbly landscaped but well tended and provides places to contemplate, remember and pray for all who have left this life. Sheltered walkways allow visitors to explore parts of the tranquil campus in protection from the elements.
