Memorials & Honors
Our Lady of Lourdes Regional School Memorials are tributes to those whose love and memories are treasured. Relatives, friends, associates, and special occasions (such as a birthday or an anniversary) can also be memorialized or honored through gifts to the Lourdes Memorial Fund.
As Catholics, we believe in life after death and that we will spend eternal life with Jesus Christ and our departed loved ones. We miss those who have died and have passed into eternal life. Our memories of our loved ones are precious and we seek ways to celebrate their lives and what they represented. A memorial in their name is a fitting tribute.
We are particularly grateful when at the death of a loved one, the newspaper obituary designates memorial contributions to Our Lady of Lourdes Regional School in lieu of flowers. Over the years this has been a great blessing. The spiritual rewards of remembrances are multiplied many times through the accomplishments of the faculty, staff, and students of Lourdes Regional School, creating an enduring legacy of good works in memory of, or in honor of loved ones.
Our Annual Memorial Mass is an occasion to honor members of our Lourdes Family who have gone to their eternal rest. Names are added to the wall each year when contributions in memory of or in honor of, a particular person total $500.00 or more. We welcome our special benefactors to our Memorial Mass in the spring where engraved name plates are presented and blessed. They will be placed on the memorial wall outside St. Bernadette Chapel at a later date.
Through gifts to Lourdes Regional School, families and friends are creating a perpetual remembrance of loved ones as they elect to share in our ministry of Catholic education. We thank you for your support.
