Announcements/​Upcoming Events
​
Jubilee 2025 -  Pope Francis has declared 2025 as the Jubilee year.  It is a significant event in the Catholic tradition, occurring every 25 years.  It provides believers with an opportunity for reflection, pilgrimages, and special indulgences sanctioned by the the Church.  The theme for Jubilee 2025 is "Pilgrims of Hope", and it will be a year of hope for a world suffering the impacts of war, the ongoing effect of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the climate crisis. Click on the link below to hear the beautiful Slovenian Hymn for Jubilee  2025:

Hall Rental fees (revised September 2024):

 ***********************************************
The financial and economic implications of the last few years have certainly had an impact on our community.   As a result, we have seen a significant decrease in weekly donations.    As our expenses for upkeep of the church continue throughout the pandemic and our revenues decline, we are facing new challenges and are hoping that you will continue to support the church financially during this time.   If you normally make offerings to the church by envelope, there are several ways you can still donate:

Mail your donation to: (remember to include your envelope number):
Our Lady of Lourdes Church
STN Main PO Box 2015
Winnipeg, MB  R3C 3R3

 E-TRANSFER to:                                                       
​​[email protected]  (note new email address)

(include your envelope number in the "comments" section or your mailing address if you do not have envelopes (for income tax receipt)
Or consider donating through PRE-AUTHORIZED PAYMENT (PAP) - see below for more information below.
*************************************
OFFERTORY ENVELOPES: Please do not use old offertory envelopes (from previous years).  This year we seem to have an abundance of old/expired envelopes being used.  These should be discarded annually when new ones become available.
 
Envelope numbers change every year and old numbers are not kept on file and, therefore, there is no way to assign credit to the correct parishioner a majority of the time. 
 
Unassigned envelopes are always available at the back of the church for pickup.  A sheet is also provided to write the parishioner's name, address and the envelope number taken.  This information is then forwarded onto our accountant for recording purposes, and to ensure parishioners are provided with a tax receipt at the end of the year.   

 If you must use an old envelope, please include your complete name and address in the space provided to ensure you are credited with the donation, otherwise it will be considered a "loose" donation (no tax receipt) and the envelope will be discarded.
 In addition, to assist with the recording of all weekly donations, our accountant  would appreciate if
 all parishioners would include their name and address on each offertory envelope, along with the amount contributed and if the donation was cash or cheque. Please be assured that all information is kept confidential, however we understand you may not want to include this information for privacy purposes.  If you are using current envelopes you will be identified by your number, however, if you use old or wrong envelopes and do not include your information you may not get credited for tax purposes.
 ​**********************************
​
PRE-AUTHORIZED PAYMENT PLAN
​​
 If you would like to register for  PAP,  please complete the form below, scan and email it, along with a VOID cheque to [email protected], or give it to Father Dado or a member of the Parish Council.  Deductions will begin one month after you have signed up.  Forms are also available at the back of the church.

In addition, should you require collection envelopes, unassigned boxes are available at the back of the church. Please take a box and fill in the form at the back of the church with your name and address and envelope number.   This information will be forwarded to our bookkeeper and you will be added to our parishioners list.  If you are planning on signing up for PAP you will still require an envelope number, so if you currently do not have envelopes please make arrangements to pick up a box at the back of the church.   If you have any questions please email us or contact us via the contact page.
