July 16, 2021
Dear Parish Family,
It was our great hope that the COVID-19 trend in our area would shift downward but that has not been the case. At this time, we do not feel comfortable hosting a parish-wide event with the spike in cases. Therefore, out of an abundance of caution and respect for those suffering with and those working to control this situation, we have decided to ⚠cancel our Parish Block Party on July 25, 2021⚠. It will not be rescheduled.
Prayerfully,
Our Lady of Lourdes Parish
