The diocese of Springfield has created a unique solution to provide parishes an online giving tool for the offertory collection. No parish website is required and every parish is given a unique web link to their own donation page. There is NO cost for the parish to enroll in utilizing this benefit and ALL funds will be directed to each parish, as designated. Each parish will receive the online gifts contributed to their donation page and we will receive the names of the generous stewards who are offering their support.

The benefits to the donor are many: provides the comfort knowing you are helping support the parish during this challenging time, offers flexible donation options, data is fully protected and secure through the diocese, all information remains secure and private, NO cost to enroll, and 100% of your contributions stays with our parish. You can access our parish page at:

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.
