TRANSCRIPT
Dear Parishioners of Our Lady of Lourdes:
When Joseph Cardinal Tobin served as our Archbishop, he was asked what stewardship was to him. His simple
definition: What I do with what I have because I believe in God. Brief, to the point, profoundly thoughtful.
This year, we are providing our parish with an accounting of our community’s stewardship: What we have done
with what we have because we believe in God.
With this letter is an accounting of how we have used the gifts we have -- our monetary resources, physical
resources, sacramental resources, ministry resources. Each is indicative of our commitment as a Catholic,
believing community to serve the many needs to which our faith calls us.
This report is not exhaustive of how all of us steward our resources. We dedicate our prayer, talents/time, and
financial resources to many causes. Though possibly not directly for a “Church related ministry”, still they are
part of how we bring God to the common, basic human needs we see and hope to effect in our local community,
city, state, nation and world.
Perhaps after you review this accounting of Our Lady of Lourdes stewardship, you will be inspired to review
the stewardship in your life – how it connects to Our Lady of Lourdes and how it connects beyond the confines
of Catholic ministries. Such a review, I hope and pray, leads to a thankful spirit and a rededication to “what you
do with what you have because you believe in God” in and through Christ Jesus, our Lord.
Sincerely in the Lord,
Father Rick
Our Lady of Lourdes

What’s New:
• We had a new "adults only" Spring Benefit format under new leadership. The format was successful in
meeting financial goals.
• Added a new separate Spring Music Concert to our calendar.
• New Technology last year included new document cameras in each classroom, a set of virtual reality
goggles, Smartboard software updates, an additional 30 Chromebooks, and an additional 30 iPads. We
also purchased and trained the staff on Accelerated Reader, a software that measures reading
comprehension.
• Purchased a new kiln for our Art room and installed several AC window units in the upstairs classrooms.
• Upgraded our stage sound system for improved performance for the 8th grade play.
Our Accomplishments
• Our school partnered with the other ECSP schools to obtain funding through the Prevention Matters
grant for two new programs--Conscious Discipline and Second Steps. Both are programs that deal with
improved Social-Emotional learning for students. Along those lines, our school hosted Jodee Blanco, a
bullying prevention specialist endorsed by the NCEA, who worked with our faculty, students, and
parents on bullying issues, and we adopted her curriculum.
• Continued our partnership with the Joseph Maley Foundation to celebrate Disability Awareness Week.
Through our partnership with JMF's HOPE program, we hosted an evening presentation about helping
students deal with Anxiety.
• We used some of our earnings from the Book Fair to have author visits for our students, including
Marcus Emerson (author of Ben Braver series).
• Earned a "B" letter grade from the state on ISTEP and increased our overall percentile on the NWEA
assessment from the previous year--Reading 74 to 78, Math 79 to 83.
• Continued to implement Project Lead the Way, a strong, highly-regarded project-based STEM program
in all grade levels.
• Held a successful Middle School Science Fair, History Day Project Fair, and a successful 8th grade
production of Beauty and the Beast.
• Our Middle School Archery Team also qualified for the National tournament.
We continue to pray daily, participate in community service such as the St. Vincent DePaul canned food drive,
and host parish-wide prayer services like our Living Rosary for the Festival of Prayer.
