Lourdes Academy Reunion

The Sisters of the Humility of Mary founded Lourdes Academy in 1892, and each year women who attended Lourdes gather at Magnificat for their Reunion Mass and Reception. This year’s event took place on August 14, with attendees sharing memories and updates with lifelong friends.

Although Lourdes closed in 1972, the schools shared a connection with the Sisters, and many Lourdes alumnae have family members who attended or attend Magnificat. In fact, Lourdes alumnae established the Lourdes Academy Scholarship, which is awarded to daughters and granddaughters of Lourdes alumnae.
