Our Lady of Lourdes School exists to develop the moral, intellectual, social and physical potential of each child in the school. In this venture, the school shares responsibility with the family and the Catholic Church. Our Lady of Lourdes School is a community of faith composed of parents, students, clergy, staff, and teachers. We strive to guide each child as he or she grows and matures in knowledge and in faith. The school community is enriched by the presence of students from a variety of family backgrounds, faiths, nationalities and cultures.
An appreciation of the liturgy is developed through weekly participation in the Mass and through daily religious instruction and prayer. Preparation for Reconciliation and First Holy Communion form the core of religious instruction in grade 2, and preparation for Confirmation takes place in grade 8. All students participate in the liturgy and prayer, however, only Catholic students receive the Sacraments of Reconciliation, Holy Eucharist, and Confirmation. Opportunities are made for those students and parents who wish to study for and receive the Sacrament of Baptism and be welcomed into the Catholic Church.
We believe that the parent is the primary educator of the child. In this regard, parents are urged to model and practice their faith by regularly attending Sunday Masses and by fostering the practice of the Sacrament of Reconciliation. The faculty shares this responsibility by modeling prayer, reflection, and charity in the classroom, and by facilitating character development.
