History

Our Lady of Lourdes was founded in 1941 when the parish undertook a building drive which included a school building and a convent. The school's gymnasium served as the church until the present church structure was completed in 1951. The school was expanded in 1951 by the addition of six classrooms on the north end of the building. The gymnasium was renovated in 2001 and the turf field was installed in 2007.
