Matthew 25:1-13

Daily Readings from USCCB

Jesus told his disciples this parable:

"The kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins

who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.

Five of them were foolish and five were wise.

The foolish ones, when taking their lamps,

brought no oil with them, but the wise brought flasks of oil with their lamps.

Since the bridegroom was long delayed,

they all became drowsy and fell asleep.

At midnight, there was a cry,

'Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!'

Then all those virgins got up and trimmed their lamps.

The foolish ones said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.'

But the wise ones replied, 'No, for there may not be enough for us and you. Go instead to the merchants and buy some for yourselves.'

While they went off to buy it, the bridegroom came and those who were ready went into the wedding feast with him. Then the door was locked.

Afterwards the other virgins came and said,

'Lord, Lord, open the door for us!'

But he said in reply, 'Amen, I say to you, I do not know you.' Therefore, stay awake, for you know neither the day nor the hour."

Saints Before Us - Saints Among Us

While students have been learning about various saints in their classroom, they have also considered the many people surrounding them who are saints in the making.

Each week of November, during the Wednesday school masses, some of the students will speak about their Saint Among Us.

Month of November .. We Remember

The altar is setup in the church gathering space. where you can put the ofrendas. An ofrendas is a favorite thing that the loved ones liked when they were alive. During the month of the November our school family and everyone who attends mass at Our Lady of Lourdes can place their ofrendas and/or picture of their loved ones who have died on the altar.

We also encourage you to sign the book of remembrance with the name of your loved one(s) who have passed.
