Founded
in November 1912 by Fr. Ignatius Lissner with the assistance of Mr. J.
J. Spalding, Our Lady of Lourdes was the first African American
Catholic church in Atlanta. St. Katharine Drexel also provided funds
and sent the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament to staff the school. We
are delighted to welcome you to our parish community and invite you to
take an active part in the spirit-filled life of our community.
