Dear Lourdes Family and Friends,

Honoring Our History • Building Our Future. These words are the cornerstone of expanding and growing our church. They have been the guiding creed for the mission of Our Lady of Lourdes to serve metro Atlanta and beyond since 1912.

Leaning into the future God has for us — and the possibilities and promise of our growing parish — ignited our original drive in 2008 to purchase property next to our current home and begin initial planning and design work for a new church. Our vision is to build a church that not only meets the needs of our community today but also paves the way for future growth and inspiration for all who encounter our parish.

As we embark on this endeavor, I am filled with hope and excitement, and I hope you are too. We are determined to create a space that celebrates our unique identity and honors our history. This new church will be a testament to our unity and strength, a place where all are welcome, and all are valued. Together, we will build a church that not only stands as a physical structure but as a symbol of the power and potential of our community.

In giving prayerful consideration, thought, and discernment about a gift to our Honoring Our History • Building Our Future Campaign, when you give, you are not simply supporting the construction of a new building. Your gift today strengthens our mission, our purpose, and our dedication to the teachings, example, and sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

Please join us in creating a one-of-a-kind spiritual sanctuary for our community!

May God bless you and keep you always.

Joyfully in Christ,

Fr. Jeffery Ott, O.P., Pastor
