Our Lady of Lourdes

About

The first African American Catholic Church founded in Atlanta, Georgia

Story

Our Lady of Lourdes was founded in 1911 by the Rev. Ignatius Lissner, of the Society of African Missions. With the help of J.J. Spalding, a member of nearby Sacred Heart parish, Father Lissner succeeded in purchasing the current site in March of 1912. By November of that year, the building was completed, blessed and dedicated. Father Lissner obtained financing from St. Katharine Drexel, a wealthy heiress from Pennsylvania who founded the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament, an order established to serve Black and Indian people. After 100 blessed years, Our Lady of Lourdes is a welcoming church, encouraging diversity and social acts to spread our faith.
