In this letter, Father Griffith talks about the cultural reckoning taking place and the rolling tide of harassment and misconduct allegations. He addresses this important issue through the prism of our Catholic faith. In addition, he shares an update on an invitation Our Lady of Lourdes has accepted to be a pilot parish for a Restorative Justice and Healing program in this Archdiocese.

This weekend marks the end of this Liturgical Year and of our 140th Jubilee Year at Lourdes. We celebrate the Feast of Christ the King and give thanks for an extraordinary year of projects, celebrations and renewal at Our Lady of Lourdes!

Father Griffith was interviewed on Relevant Radio this week and he talked about the Culture of Encounter series at Our Lady of Lourdes. Here is more on the schedule for these upcoming Adult Formation talks and events and the podcast.

Our Culture of Encounter series continues. Father Patrick Quinn will be with us for a Parish Mission that will include his talke titled, "Encountering Culture with Christ" on Sunday, November 19th.
