As Catholics, we believe in
the Resurrection and 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 passed into God's hands. Our memories of them are precious and we seek
ways that will not only memorialize them but also celebrate their lives and
what they represented.
A memorial is a fitting
tribute. 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.
Relatives, friends,
associates, and special occasions (such as a birthday or an anniversary)
are memorialized and honored through gifts to the Lourdes Memorial Fund.
Our Annual Memorial Mass is
an occasion to honor members of our Lourdes Family who have gone to their
eternal rest.
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 welcome our special
benefactors to our Liturgy.
Names are added to the wall
each year when contributions in memory of or in honor
of a particular person have reached $500.
The memorial wall, which is
displayed outside St. Bernadette Chapel, serves as a constant reminder that
we are cooperating in God's plan, and that He will also enrich us
"with gifts appropriate to this role."
