Love and support
We are blessed to have Fr. Myles in Colusa during Fr. Arbel’s absence. If anyone was considering taking Fr. Myles to breakfast, or having him over, there will be a sign-up sheet in the back of the Church during the Masses or at the church office during the week. This is to avoid confusion or “double booking.” Thank you for your love and support.
Please help build our Parish Museum
After a year of gathering old vestments and church vessels for our planned small church museum, Father Arbel is asking any handyman parishioner who knows how to install a cabinet to please help and call the office.
We are also accepting donations for our small museum like old pictures of the church, pictures of baptism, pictures of confirmation, pictures of marriage and other liturgical celebrations. We are also accepting donations like an old prayer book of a parishioner, or chaplets or any old religious item.
Father is looking for the original stations of the cross of Our Lady of Lourdes. If you know of anyone who has them, please contact the office.
6th Annual Colusa Crawdad Festivalsponsored by the Knight of Columbus, Council 2145, will be held Saturday, September 10th, at the Colusa County Fairgrounds. Cost is $10 a person at the gate. Children under 10 are free.
The proceeds from this annual charity event support local community charities. Please support our Knights of Columbus.

Learners Today Leaders Tomorrow
In a day when every family is looking for ways to save money, Our Lady of Lourdes Parish School is offering an enrollment incentive for this school year. Any parishioner of OLL or Sacred Heart that is new to OLL School can now enroll for only $1500.00/child! This is a substantial savings that will enable your learner of today to become a leader of tomorrow. You will be amazed with our small community feeling, challenging academics, and sincerely dedicated staff. In addition, our preschool and prekinder program still have spots available. Many additional ways to minimize the cost of a Catholic education are available as well. The office is now open for registration at 741 Ware Ave. Colusa or call for an appointment at 530-458-8208. School starts Aug. 17th.
