This Advent, Our Lady of Lourdes will be doing a prayer exchange with families from our sister parish of La Morita, Tijuana. You can sign up to participate (either as an individual or as a family) by filling out a short form with your name and a few prayer intentions. We will match you with a family in Tijuana and will email you their names and intentions so that you can each pray for each other during Advent. If you would like to participate, please fill out the paper form in the back of the church or the online form, using this link: https://tinyurl.com/AdvPray. The deadline to participate is November 28.

We will offer our highest prayer for people who have been harmed. This Mass for Justice, Healing and Peace will be held on Wednesday, November 14th at 6 pm.
