The Oblate Missions in Tijuana

Our Lady of Lourdes partners closely with the Oblates of Mary Immaculate - Tijuana Mission, our sister parish. We are committed to giving our time, talent ,and treasure to support La Morita.  If you've been at Our Lady of Lourdes, you may have met Fr. Jesse, Fr. Lucio, and some of the Mission's youth leaders. 

Fr. Jesse Esqueda and the Oblates serve a parish community of 200,000.  The Mission provides pastoral care, food, shelter, healthcare, youth ministries, scholarships, elderly ministries, and support for children with disabilities.  Recently, Fr. Jesse and the youth ministry have been ministering to women, children, and young adults in the migrant caravan. 

This year on the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe (12-12), we are launching a 12 Days & 12K campaign.  Our goal is to raise $12,000 to support our sister parish.  $6,000 will come from the Matthew 25 Fund with the hope of raising an additional $6,000 from parishioners and friends.  The campaign will kick off on 12/12 and run for 12 days closing on Christmas Eve.  Funds raised will support the expansion of the mission including a new community building and ministries to support those on the peripheries. 

See below for recent photographs of the work being done by Fr. Jesse and the Oblates.  If you would like to donate to one of Mission's needs, please click on the donate button above
