The following two case elements were added after the devastation of Hurricane Harvey in
August of 2017:

Here at Our Lady of Lourdes, we began conducting the IGNITE campaign in the summer of 2017.
Due to Hurricane Harvey, we were unable to complete the campaign. We restarted the IGNITE
campaign in February of 2020, but again had to put the campaign on hold due to the Coronavirus.
We are once again restarting our IGNITE campaign during this 2021 Lenten season and plan to due
our part to support the Archdiocese and our Parish.
As a community, united in our strong Faith, we've overcome challenges globally and locally. Due to
the dedication of the Faithful and the continued vision of Cardinal DiNardo,
we are bringing this campaign to a close by asking the members of the final groups of
parishes to add their support to those who have given so selflessly thus far.
Every parish in the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston is asked to participate in the IGNITE: Our Faith, Our Mission campaign. The active phases of the campaign will run through December 2021. Each parish will conduct its campaign in one of four blocks within that time-frame. Parishes conducting a Good Faith Effort agree to participate in the campaign as designed by our counsel, Guidance In Giving, Inc., in order to reach their established financial goal. Please visit the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston website for more information and updates about this campaign.
