Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church 455 Hunter Avenue, West Islip, NY 11795

"Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic church is a wonderful parish. The parish office has such accommodating days and hours . Amy was so nice and helpful to me. As was Fr. Felix . Rev. Dennis was gracious to my daughter in helping with urgent baptismal papers . I came to them as my situation was a debacle and now it is all straightened out. All our prayers were answered."

"Attended for a funeral. Very pretty church and the service was welcoming and sweet. The attention the lady who attended to the cloth for the coffin and other tasks was very precise and she certainly knew what to do. The singer was comforting and the priest was very kind. We are from out of town but the love in this church is very evident."

"My husband and I moved near here two years ago during the pandemic and needed to find a new parish. Having a special devotion to the Blessed Mother prompted me to go to mass there once the pandemic somewhat leveled out a year year ago. We feel very welcome and blessed to be a part of this parish community. Fr. Brian and Fr. Charles along with the deacons, parish staff and fellow parishioners are wonderful!"

"Had our daughters baptism here and the pastor was perfect, couldn't of gone any better. I grew up going here and now my daughter will too with her baptism. Thank you for the amazing & rememable day"

"This has been our Parish since 1989 so we've seen many transitions. Monsigor Brian is wonderful and works very hard in getting things done. We recently and sadly lost our school due to a low student rate. He had recently fixed the roof's and windows on both the school and most recently the nun's convent, which also needed a new heating system. New exterior doors have been installed on the Church as well as the pavement and walkways. However, we have asked that the Tabernacle be moved from the Sanctuary area which is on the far side of the Church to behind the Altar where Jesus is front and center and a focal point. Leave the candle's under the stained glass and keep it as a private prayer area but please move the Tabernacle. Most local Church's have already made this move and shows respect for our Lord. Time,Talents,and Treasure is the theme here so they ask the parishioners to be active members of the Church so we want to petition this and ask the support of the Pastoral Council and the Congregation. God bless OLL West Islip NY"
