We, members of Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church, are committed to
establish a safe haven for believers in our community.
Having Christ as the center of our worship and being impelled by his teachings:
• We continually grow in ministries that address the needs and
concerns of our community.
• We strive to be a vibrant “Christ Centered” spiritual family and
experience His love and presence in the celebration of the Eucharist.
The American Revolution was a beginning, not a consummation.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY:
MENTORS NEEDED FOR REFUGEES
Catholic Charities is seeking volunteer mentors ages 18
and older for their new Refugee Mentor Program. While
the case managers provide direct, holistic assistance to
refugee individuals and families, many refugees face challenges in their social/cultural integration to life in the U.S.
The Refugee Mentor Program connects refugee families
with a volunteer mentor who will help encourage selfsufficiency in America. Volunteers commit to mentoring a
refugee or refugee family for at least 1-2 hours a week for
12 months. Mentors and mentees determine convenient
meeting locations and times each week. An orientation/
training for refugee mentors will be held June 30 from
9am-12pm at Catholic Charities Refugee Services offices,
St. Lawrence the Martyr campus, 2505 Maine Avenue in
Metairie. To attend this training, all prospective mentors
must contact Peyton Smith, Refugee Mentor Program Coordinator to submit a resume and schedule an interview.
Call 504-310-6868 or email [email protected]
