Cornerstone
Catch the Spirit of Cornerstone
"Cornerstone weekend helped me reflect and experience how our faith is deeply intertwined with our daily lives."
What is Cornerstone?
Have you ever had the feeling that life is going by too fast? Did you ever wish you could stop the world for a day, catch your breath and have a chance to reflect on what's really important in your life?
Cornerstone will provide just that ... offering you the opportunity to strengthen your faith, come closer to Christ, and grow in a Christian community.
During Cornerstone you will have the opportunity to meet and interact with others in a warm, welcome environment.
This is a one-time experience. No one attends Cornerstone twice, which makes it a unique experience for everyone.
~
"Cornerstone is putting life
on "pause" for 26 hours
and letting the spirit in."
~
Who conducts Cornerstone?
A team of men and women from Our Lady of Lourdes who have attended a past Cornerstone experience offers their talents in various ways.
Some team members give presentations on selected themes or lead small group discussions. Others plan liturgy, music, meals and accommodations ... all of them dedicated to ensuring an atmosphere of warmth and hospitality.
~
"Cornerstone for me changed
strangers into women,
women into friends and
friends into sisters."
~
What can you expect?
Cornerstone activities begin on Friday at 7:00 p.m. and end on Saturday evening.
You'll stay overnight at Pollard Hall and the school. You'll want for nothing. All you need to bring is an open mind and a willing heart.
Many people, some you may know from other parishes, have experienced Cornerstone. People from all walks of life have sought this opportunity to gain a greater understanding of themselves and what is means to be part of a Christian community. After their experience, most feel that they have grown spiritually, come closer to the Lord, and developed a greater connection to Our Lady of Lourdes community.
Give yourself this gift of time. You deserve it.

"My Cornerstone experience
was more than I expected it
to be or could have ever
hoped it would be.
The Spirit did embrace
me that weekend and I
hope to never lose that feeling."
