Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church
Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church, Catholic church in St. Anthony Falls, Minneapolis, United States
The limestone church features a bell tower with three steeples, Gothic elements, and a design that combines Greek Revival with French Provincial architecture.
Built between 1854 and 1857 as First Universalist Church, French Canadian Catholics purchased the building in 1877, making it the first Our Lady of Lourdes in the United States.
The congregation maintains French Canadian traditions through religious services, educational programs, and the preparation of traditional dishes such as tourtières.
The church offers guided tours by appointment, regular Mass services, and maintains active community programs in the St. Anthony Falls neighborhood.
Standing as Minneapolis's oldest continuously used church building, the structure underwent major extensions between 1880 and 1883, doubling its original seating capacity.
