Brian and Cyndy Fuhro, parishioners and a Knight and Dame of the Order of Malta, will be traveling to Lourdes, France on the 37th Annual Lourdes Pilgrimage “Hope Through the Virtue of Union with Mary” from April 29 to May 6, 2025. They have offered to take to Lourdes any special intentions that OLM parishioners may have. The intentions can be handwritten in a sealed envelope and placed in the basket in the narthex. The intensions will be hand delivered to the grotto of Massabielle where on February 11, 1858, the Blessed Mother appeared 18 times before Bernadette Soubirous (now Saint Bernadette), a 14-year-old peasant girl.
