There is Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament between 5 and 6pm every day during the week in the church, streamed live via the link on our home page or through Church Services TV.

 

Steve Coleman was a parishioner at Our Lady of Lourdes from even before the church was built. With permission from his son, Peter Coleman, here are his memoirs of the founding of the parish and local life in the first half of the 20th century.

Mass Times

The public celebration of Mass has been suspended for the present due to the coronavirus outbreak.

There's a great deal more excellent material, including videos, at the parent website, Catholics Come Home.

Tucked away in the attic of the presbytery we found, when looking for material about the church's history, a couple of boxes full of old books, minutes, bills and letters. We haven't had a chance to go through them systematically as yet, but what we did find were lots of fascinating old photos, some of which we've uploaded to the website, with more to come.

You wouldn't believe the number of different roles that need to be filled to keep a parish going. We are always glad to have extra help; just scroll down to see if there is anything you can do.
