Our Lady of 

Lourdes Church

Our Lady of Lourdes as a Community of Faith marked its 100th year on October 17, 2020. It was the height of the covid-19 pandemic just as it was a century ago when, as the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic was waning, Our Lady of Lourdes Church was born in the foothills of Los Angeles. From a tiny shoot of 23 people in the Forster family living room on 10342 Mountair Ave. where the first Eucharist was celebrated with Fr. Joseph Tonello, who became pastor a month later, Our Lady of Lourdes Parish was born. A century later, on October 17, 2020, we held a commemorative celebration of that first Mass in one of the Forsters’ homes on Mountair Ave., home now to Charles and Beverly Naudet. From such small beginnings, the work of evangelization flourished. The pioneers started out small, but the Lord alone knows what fruits would follow.

If there is something to be said again and again, the Catholic Church in Our Lady of Lourdes must be universal and inclusive and truly local, imbedded in the variety of gifts and diverse cultures of the people, taking part in each one’s joys and sufferings, hopes and fears as we bring the Gospel to shed light on everyone’s life. This calls for celebration and this celebration is a call to commit ourselves to grow as a Family, a Community and as Church around the Eucharistic table of the Lord.

Daily Masses (Monday—Friday) will continue to be held at 7:45 am inside the church.
Of course, we must still follow all the protocols whether at the outdoor or indoor Masses
