Our pastor, Msgr. Paul Dotson will soon be making a pilgrimage to the sacred shrine of the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes—a place of profound prayer, healing, and encounter with the Blessed Virgin Mary. Since the apparitions of Our Lady to Saint Bernadette Soubirous in 1858, countless pilgrims have journeyed there seeking the Lord’s grace through Mary’s loving intercession.

Msgr. Paul invites you to be part of this pilgrimage by entrusting your intentions to him. He will carry our parish’s prayers to Lourdes and place them before Our Lady at the Grotto.

You may submit your prayer intentions online through our parish website or drop your intention in the baskets in the church. Please submit all intentions by April 27 at 12:00 PM.

In the spirit of the Church’s teaching on pilgrimage—that we are a people on journey toward the Lord (cf. Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2691)—this is a beautiful opportunity to unite our hearts in prayer, asking Mary to lead us ever closer to her Son.

Let us accompany Msgr. Paul, with our prayers, confident that through Our Lady of Lourdes, the Lord hears and responds to the needs of His people.
