This summer we will welcome a soon-to-be ordained Deacon to our parish, Mr. Paul Brungardt. Below is a message from him:
"I’m excited to serve at Our Lady of Lourdes for a whole summer! As a college seminarian, I got to lead Totus Tuus here in 2015 and Prayer & Action in 2018, but both were too short a time! This May, I finished my second to last year of formation at my fourth seminary, Mount Saint Mary’s in Emmitsburg, MD. There is a special devotion to Our Lady of Lourdes in Emmitsburg, so I think she had a hand in placing me at her parish in Pittsburg! For fun, I enjoy making music; I play a little violin and guitar. I also like to play basketball and disc golf. My favorite book is "The Little Prince" and my favorite movie is “It’s a Wonderful Life” even though I hated it as a kid. Recently, Venerable Kapaun has been one of my main intercessors, as well as, Servant of God, Sr. Clare Crockett. Please know of my prayers!"
Please join is in warmly welcoming him to our parish this summer!
Please note we have only two remaining 11:30am Masses for this school year:
Tuesday, May 13
Friday, May 16
Our 11:30am Mass will resume in August with the start of the new school year.
Happy Mother’s Day!
May Our Blessed Mother watch over you and intercede for you always.
Mrs. Angie Brill, one of our kindergarten teachers and a parishioner at Our Lady of Lourdes, has become seriously ill. She was taken to KU Medical Center and is currently on a ventilator. Angie is the wife of Brandon Brill.
The St. Mary’s PTO and Our Lady of Lourdes Kapaun’s Men invite you to join us in praying a Rosary for Angie on Monday, May 12, immediately following the 6:30am Mass (around 7:05–7:10am) in the church.
Please keep Angie, Brandon, and their family in your prayers.
Habemus Papam!
We welcome our new pope, Pope Leo XIV, with joy and prayer. May the Holy Spirit guide him as he leads the Church with faith, humility, and love.
Cardinals are now processing in to take their oath and start voting for our next Pope!

🚨 Mass Schedule ERROR 🚨
We’re aware of a glitch on our website that shows a 5:30pm Mass tonight—there is no 5:30pm Mass at OLL on Holy Saturday (4/19/25).
Our only Mass today is the Easter Vigil at 8pm.
Sorry for any confusion!
Remember Good Friday
Today we pause in silence and sorrow to remember the depth of Christ’s love for us. On the Cross, He bore our suffering and opened the way to salvation.
Let us take time to reflect, to pray, and to unite our hearts with His sacrifice.
"O come, let us worship… for by His holy Cross, He has redeemed the world."
Please note: No Masses are celebrated on Good Friday.
Opportunities for prayer and reflection at Our Lady of Lourdes:
✝️ Extra Confessions: 12–3pm (Church)
✝️ Stations of the Cross: 3pm (Church)
✝️ Good Friday Service: 5:30pm – Passion, Veneration of the Cross, and Holy Communion
✝️ Via Crucis (Spanish): 6pm – Departs from Guadalupe Hall
✝️ Spanish Good Friday Service: 7pm
Reminder: Parish Office and Schools are closed today (4/18) and Easter Monday (4/21).
04/17/25: Today is Holy Thursday, the beginning of the Sacred Triduum. As we remember the Last Supper, we are invited to reflect on Christ’s example of humility and love.
Please note: There is only one Mass celebrated today, at 7pm (bilingual).
It will be followed by Adoration in the St. Mary’s Elementary commons area until 10pm.
Lord Jesus, as we remember the night You gave us the gift of the Eucharist and knelt to wash the feet of Your disciples, fill our hearts with gratitude, humility, and a desire to follow Your example of self-giving love. Amen.
