Mission Statement Our Lady of Lourdes Our Lady of Lourdes Parish, established in 1967, is a parish of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Kingston. Called by God in Scripture and Tradition, we share in the Mission of the universal church to worship God. Living our baptismal call to holiness, our faith is deepened when we commit ourselves to the service of all within the parish and the world for the building up of His church to the honour and glory of God. Through the intercession of Our Lady of Lourdes, may we be open to the gifts of the Holy Spirit through Christ, the Lord.

~ Amen.
