Our Mission

The mission of Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School is to transform, professionally and faithfully, through a quality Catholic education, our culturally diverse student body into confident, competent and compassionate individuals, who are prepared for lifelong learning and community service based on their love of God and others.

The goal of the contemporary Catholic School must be education, worship, and the building and living of faith community.

We believe that our commitment to Christian education calls us to instill in our students a love of God, knowledge of His works, and a desire to live according to Christian ideals and principles.

We believe that education, while providing for individual differences, will equip each student with the basic cognitive skills necessary for a productive and personally satisfying life in our society.

We believe that faculty and parents, working together in mutual respect and reverence, provide an important witness for our students as they grow and develop.

We believe that education should enhance the social development of each student by teaching a sense of responsibility and service to community and encouraging a love of democratic ideals, Christian values, and a spirit of freedom which respects the rights of others while recognizing the value of self-discipline and individual initiative.

Our Parish Mission

It is the mission of Our Lady of Lourdes Parish to become an increasingly supportive Catholic Faith Community in the Columbus area by worshipping God and celebrating the Good News of Jesus Christ through Christian service and witness rooted in an ever-deepening love for God and His people.

This mission is fulfilled through education, worship, prayer, social action, missionary activity, civic involvement, hospitality, and service to one another.

The operation of Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School is essential to the Parish Mission.
