Our Lady of Lourdes has been partnering with the Oblates of Mary Immaculate - Tijuana Mission for about five years. As a sister parish, we are committed to giving our time, talent ,and treasure to support the Mission. 

If you've been at Our Lady of Lourdes, you may have met Fr. Jesse Esqueda, Fr. Lucio, and some of the Mission's youth leaders.  Fr. Jesse 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. 

See below for 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.
