PARISH SCHOOL
LETTERS FOR LOURDES
Christian service and outreach have
been a challenge for students at Our
Lady of the Lakes Catholic School
during this pandemic. Creative
opportunities have been offered and
students        have       responded
enthusiastically for outreach to our
senior population. Laker students
have written letters and made cards
for the residents of Lourdes Senior
Community. Lourdes residents have
been isolated in their living facility
and unable to receive visitors or
leave their residence. The letters and
cards have been a blessing to so
many of the homebound. Also, the
Lourdes folks have sent notes back to the students thanking them for thinking of them. It has been a welcomed
partnership during this time of restrictions.
Now students are making cards for Tad, a Lourdes resident who reached the milestone age of 100 on March 6th.
Since students are unable to “Visit the Sick”, a Corporal Work of Mercy. They can do the next best thing-send a joyful
greeting to the homebound at Lourdes and pray they know that Laker students care about them.
                                                                                        Kathy Lewis, Campus Minister

SR. THEA BOWMAN, FSPA | 1937-1990
Sr. Thea was born a Protestant in Mississippi in 1937, the granddaughter of
slaves. She boldly told her parents at age 12 that she wanted to convert to
Catholicism. At 15, she moved north to La Crosse to attend St. Rose Convent. As
a Franciscan Sister of Perpetual Adoration, she dedicated her life to Civil Rights.
She worked to empower the black community, while educating others about
African-Americans’ history and experience.
During her short lifetime (52 years), many people considered her a religious
Sister undeniably close to God and who lovingly invited others to encounter the
presence of God in their lives. She is acclaimed a “holy woman” in the hearts of
those who knew and loved her and continue to seek her intercession for
guidance and healing. November 14, 2018 the cause for sainthood was approved
and supported by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
