Our Lady Of Lourdes Parish Mission

Everyday Spirituality

March 7, 8 & 9, 2010
7:00 – 8:30 p.m.
Fr. Richard De Lillio, OSFS

How difficult can it be to develop and foster a love of God in everyday life? Is it supposed to be so complicated? Fr. De Lillio’s presentations will focus on what it means to answer the Lord’s call to “follow me.”

CPO’s first semi-annual “Feed-A-Family” food drive will be Saturday, March 20^th and Sunday, March 21^st. We have been able to keep up with the increased demand for food, because of the generosity of our participating parishes. Each month we see an increase in people referred to us by Wake County Services, hospitals, schools and non-profit organizations. CPO now accepts monetary donations. Thanks to all in our parish for their generosity in past food drives!
