Peru Chapel
Our Lady of Lourdes has formed a relationship with The Chapel of Our Lady of Reconcilation in Arequipa, Peru. Since late 2010, parishioners from Our Lady of Lourdes and Our Lady of Reconcilation have been in communication, learning from one another and praying for one another. Although we are separated by thousands of miles, we are the Catholic Church, we are brothers and sisters in Christ.
In late June of 2011, delegates from OLOL traveled to Arequipa to meet the parishioners and leadership from Our Lady of Reconcilation and deliver gifts from our parish. After hours of travel and many wonderful expereiences, Lourdes delegates have returned from their visit with smiles on their faces and a part of their heart forever changed by their new friends. Please click here for a detailed letter from Cathy Thennes which eloquently summarizes the trip.
