Lourdu Matha Anbiyam
Our Patron
Our Lady of Lourdes appeared to Saint Bernadette Soubirous in 1858 in the grotto of Massabielle. She identified herself as the “Immaculate Conception” and revealed a spring of water that has since become a site of countless physical and spiritual healings.
I am the Immaculate Conception. — Words of Mary to St. Bernadette.
- Area / Zone: International City
- Community Spirit:We emphasize the “healing power of community.” By listening to one another and sharing our burdens, we manifest the grace of our Patroness in our daily lives. We are particularly dedicated to ensuring that the Tamil language and liturgy remain a cornerstone of our children’s spiritual upbringing in this multicultural setting. Spread across the diverse clusters of International City, our Anbiyam is a mosaic of families coming together to form a “Grotto of Peace.” We focus on the message of Lourdes—humility, prayer, and penance. Our gatherings are a refuge where members can find spiritual refreshment after a long week of work.
- Prayer Meetings: Every week on Saturdays.
