Habitat for Humanity

“Join in the dream!” This was our campaign slogan when Our Lady of Lourdes started to undertake our first Habitat project in 1988. With wonderful leadership and dedicated crews, OLL built eight homes in partnership with working poor families. This fall, we are going to do it again. This time it will be a coalition of parishioners from several Catholic churches including St. Luke and St. Andrew. Join in the dream again by contacting Barbara and Chris Quinby at mdoffice@bellsouth.net to get yourself on our mailing list.

We plan to hold information sessions later in the summer so be sure to read the bulletin.

One of the greatest things you can do in life is lift up someone else
