They want to add pews and seating space and currently have a thrust stage type alter. The building is on the National Historic Site Registry and many are dicussing having the potential to hold Tridentine Masses at this historic Church.

There is at least one petition drive going to eventually be presented to the priest and Archbishop to hold a Tridentine Mass at Our Lady of Lourdes.

Come out and support the Downtown Minneapolis Tridentine Community, if enough want to, we could have a social afterwards at Nye''s or some other mutually agreed about social gathering spa! ce.

The head of the Interior Space Committee is Richard Dirlam.

I will definitely attend if it goes TLM - I'll go to Nye's too.

They should get Fr. Morrissey involved from St. Louis in St. Paul - he did a great job with all the renovation there. I think OL Lourdes was a Marist church at one time.

That is a beautiful church. And they have free heated parking!

And if I miss the 5:00 p.m. at Nativity in St Paul and need an evening Mass, their 7:00 p.m. just hits the spot.

I used to hang out a bit at Nye's when I worked downtown. Before the new crowd moved in. Al and I would chat occasionally. He wasn't Polish, his wife was.
