Accountability and reparation. In this Star Tribune article, Father Griffith and Ombudsman Tom Johnson weigh in on work that remains after the bankruptcy settlement. On November 14th, Our Lady of Lourdes will offer our highest prayer, a Mass for Justice, Healing and Peace. The evening will include a testimonial of victim-survivor of clergy abuse, and healing circles. This event will begin at 6 pm.

Our faith formation program events are featured here on our parish website and are listed on our Calendar of Events and the full year of programs and events are also available in this formation program brochure.

Be sure to check out Father Griffith's annual letter; a look back at an event-filled year and a look ahead at more opportunities for all of us to grow in faith, community and service!
