Church of Our Lady of Lourdes ALEXANDRA Catholics are respectfully invited to assist in erecting the first church and shrine in New Zealand to be dedicated to Our Lady of Lourdes as a memorial to our fallen soldiers. Remember ; The best way to combat the deadly serpent of unbelief is by word and work publicly to proclaim the glory of Our Lady of Lourdes. Lourdes conquers the pride and arrogance of atheists and unbelievers. There God has wrought before multitudes miracles and wonders in thousands. Through Mary the haughty head of the serpent that “bites in silence’ will be crushed. ' Could any public work be more honorable or more glorious ? No one could lose through what they do for God and His most glorious Mother.
