African American
Outreach
You Are Welcome Here
At our parish, we believe that the Church reflects the love of Christ—a love that embraces every race, culture, and background—and we know the Body of Christ is not complete without the gifts of our African American community. We long to worship alongside you, learn from you, and be transformed by walking together with you as one family in Christ.
On the first Sunday of each month, our Harambe Sunday Mass at 10:30 AM honors the sacred traditions, music, and witness of the African American Catholic experience. “Harambe” means “let’s pull together”—and that’s exactly what we seek to do: worship, serve, and grow in Christ as one united family.
Every 1st Sunday of the Month at 10:30 AM Mass
Our parish is also a member of the Daytona Beach Black Clergy Alliance, working together with other local churches to promote justice, mutual support, and healing across racial and cultural lines.
This is not just an invitation to join us for Mass. It’s an invitation to help us become the parish Christ wants us to be: a community where every voice is lifted, every gift has a place, and every person belongs. You are not just welcomed here—you are cherished and needed here.
Come live your faith with us. Your presence matters. Your story matters. And there is a place for you at the table.

ALL ARE
WELCOME HERE
(WHERE ALL MEANS ALL.)
Seriously. Every week at Our Lady of Lourdes, Christians and non-Christians, believers and doubters, seekers and skeptics, the fired-up and totally worn out, all come together to explore what it means to say yes to something real, hopeful, and new.
