Experience the inspiring new film "Triumph of the Heart", telling the story of St. Maximilian Kolbe’s final days in Auschwitz, where he offered his life in place of another and turned despair into hope and prayer. A moving reminder of Christ-like love and sacrifice, it shows how faith triumphs even in the darkest places.

🚨 Scam Alert 🚨
We’ve been made aware of text messages claiming to be from Fr. Mike asking for help. These are scams. Our priests will never contact you in this way.
Our parish office information has not been compromised, but some parishioners may still receive these messages. Because they did not originate from our parish, priests, or offices, we cannot block or report them for you. The best action is to delete the message and report it as spam through your cell phone provider or email service.

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!
