Weekly School Broadcast Earlier this week we welcomed Bishop Quinn to Lourdes to celebrate the 2021 Senior Baccalaureate Mass. Seniors from the four Catholic schools in the Winona-Rochester Diocese were brought together via live stream for this Mass. The four Catholic schools include Lourdes, Cotter (Winona), Loyola (Mankato), and Pacelli (Austin). This Mass was a time of gratitude for the gift of our seniors and hope for their future faith journey. After Mass, Bishop Quinn spent some time outside talking with a few LHS seniors about their plans and goals for the future. We are grateful that we had this opportunity to gather as a graduating senior class with Bishop Quinn.
Blessings,
Mary Spring Lourdes High School Principal

Academics Mrs. Groven met with seniors to discuss scholarship applications. The Lourdes website is a great starting point to identify scholarship opportunities. We have links to several scholarship search sites as well as a list of local scholarships. We encourage students to check the Lourdes page frequently and to watch for announcements on Mrs. Groven’s Google Classroom page. Lourdes Foundation scholarship applications were recently posted to the Lourdes website. If students have questions about scholarship opportunities, they should visit the counseling office. Please contact Ms. Spring if you are in need of transportation in the fall. We are looking to ascertain how many families need assistance with transportation for the fall.
