Please join us! Electronic Sign Update! IT IS ABOUT SIGN!!!! After almost two years of back and forth correspondences with the City of Toledo zoning board, we have an approved permit to erect an electronic sign out front of our new church building. Stay tuned. It is our hope that the new sign will be operational by the end of May! The Light is On Wednesday, March 21, 2018 Mark your calendars for Wednesday, March 21, 2018 when the confessional lights will be on in parishes across the Diocese of Toledo for the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Between the hours of 4:00 PM 7:00 PM on March 21st priests in local parishes will be available to hear confessions. Begun in the Archdiocese of Washington, DC as a means to encourage the Catholic faithful to celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation, The Light is On is a collective diocesan-wide effort when confessions are scheduled at the same time at local parishes on a selected day. Priests in local parishes will avail themselves to hear confessions on this date. Fr. Mike Brown will be available to hear confessions from 4-7 pm on March 21st here at Our Lady of Lourdes.

The Knights of Columbus, St. Joe's Sylvania is sponsoring a lecture about the Reformation. Five-hundred years ago, a German friar challenged the Western Church s sacramental practices and teachings, Church authority, and justification before God. His 95 theses sent shock waves throughout Christianity and led to the Protestant Reformation of the sixteenth-century. Who was Martin Luther? What practices and teachings of the Western Church prompted his challenge? What kind of Reformation did Luther intend? Join us on March 23 at 7:30 PM in St. Joseph s Church, immediately following the Stations of the Cross, as Knights of Columbus Council 5628 presents Geoffrey J. Grubb, Ph.D., who will highlight the major questions and issues of the period. Everyone, regardless of faith or denomination, is invited. There will be no fee for the presentation, but Knights of Columbus Council 5628 requests that attendees bring one canned good for a Lenten donation to local food pantries. Geoffrey J. Grubb, Ph.D., is Provost and Professor of Theological Studies at Lourdes University. He holds a doctorate in Historical Theology from Saint Louis University. Tired of writing checks?
