Welcome to Our Lady of Lourdes
Let’s make our community a better place together!
Let’s make our community a better place together!
Our Lady of Lourdes is a Roman Catholic Parish under the Archdiocese of Vancouver. We are one of the oldest French and English speaking parishes in Coquitlam. Over the past 100 years, we have assisted thousands of families, both parishioners and visitors, with their spiritual and financial needs.
Are you passionate about helping the local community? Let us know! We are always looking for volunteers to help us make our vision for a more vibrant community possible. We'll help you find a way to volunteer that best suits you. We're excited to have you join our parish team!
Our community is blessed with amazing individuals and families. We are so grateful for your help through monetary donations, volunteering your time, and spreading our mission through word-of-mouth, thank you. We couldn't accomplish our goals without the help of this amazing community.
Project Advance makes possible the many ministries and programs that bring us together, furthering our evangelizing mission, both at the parish and throughout the archdiocese. With your donations over the years, we have been able to accomplish many great works! It is inspiring to see so many people working together to further the Kingdom of God. Most parishioners are aware of our plans to renovate the basement. An important feature of the renovation is to bring back the windows that were boarded up over fifty years ago. Windows allow the light to come in. Beautiful daylight. Allowing daylight in through the windows will make our church basement far more appealing than a box filled with artificial light. Our parish goal this year is $70,000 to help cover the cost of the windows. All parishioners are encouraged to donate as participation is just as important, if not more so, than the amount given. Please offer something, large or small, for the future of Our Lady of Lourdes Parish. You can contribute to Project Advance by speaking with a volunteer at the church entrance, going online to projectadvance.ca, scanning the QR code on the Project Advance poster, or by dropping by the parish office. Let’s bring God’s natural light into the church basement and help shine the light of faith on our neighborhood.
Economically. Morally. Culturally. Spiritually. Yet despite the persecution we’re now facing, confusion in the Church, and the temptation to despair – maybe even because of those difficulties – Catholics are still filled with supernatural hope.
We know that we are not alone in the battle for souls. In times of great crisis, the Church calls upon the faithful to turn to Our Lady in prayer to intercede on our behalf. History is replete with evidence that she has never failed to come to the aid of those who ask. One of the first to publicly announce the start of a nine-month novena to Our Lady of Guadalupe initiated by His Eminence Raymond Leo Cardinal Burke. The novena will begin on March 12 and culminate with an act of consecration on her feast day, December 12.
Every month of the novena, participants will receive emails directly from Cardinal Burke with encouragement and spiritual direction. So let’s respond with fervor to the Cardinal’s urgent worldwide call to prayer and a return to Our Lady for the spiritual health of our country and the world.
Our Lady of Lourdes Parish has assisted thousands of at-need individuals throughout its rich history. Since 1909, we have opened our doors to the Maillardville community and beyond, providing a rich history of inclusion, spirituality, and community development.
We are dedicated to improving the lives of those in our community. Your contribution today helps us make a meaningful difference today.
