Palm Sunday Mass will be broadcast on the local Taylorville radio at 11:00 AM. During the Mass we have the blessing of palms. Palms will be placed outside of our church doors for pick up. There will be NO Holy Week Services celebrated in public.
A word of thanks to those of you who have been sending us your weekly contributions; they are greatly needed at this time for us to meet payroll and pay our bills.
Continue to stay safe and follow all the guidelines being given to us! Know of our prayers for all of you during this difficult time!

Notice: Please see Dio.org website for diocesan coronavirus (covid-19) updates.
Also, please note that all public celebrations of weekday and weekend masses have been suspended until further notice.

As you can imagine, the cancellation of all public masses greatly affects the finances of our three parishes. To go without weekly parish collections will greatly impact our ability to meet ongoing financial obligations. We still have payroll for our employees and bills to pay. PLEASE send in your weekly contributions to the parish via mail, stopping by the office or by using ACH.

If you have not signed up for ACH you can do so by calling the parish office or school office. ACH allows your bank to issue your parish contribution electronically. These are very difficult times for all of us. Let us continue to be united in prayer.

Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us!

O Mary,
you always brighten our path
as a sign of salvation and of hope.
We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick, who, at the Cross, took part in Jesus’ pain while remaining steadfast in faith.
O loving Mother,
you know what we need,
and we are confident you will provide for us as at Cana in Galilee.
Intercede for us with your Son Jesus,
the Divine Physician,
for those who have fallen ill,
for those who are vulnerable,
and for those who have died. Intercede also for those charged with protecting the health and safety of others and for those who are tending to the sick and seeking a cure.
Help us, O Mother of Divine Love,
to conform to the will of the Father
and to do as we are told by Jesus,
who took upon himself our sufferings and carried our sorrows,
so as to lead us, through the Cross,
to the glory of the Resurrection. Amen.
Under thy protection we seek refuge, O Holy Mother of God.
In our needs, despise not our petitions, but deliver us always from all dangers, O glorious and blessed Virgin. Amen.
