Our Lady of Lourdes Parish School [undated] From: Weber, Nicholas A. A Short History of the French Catholic Congregation of East Minneapolis in Minnesota (1849–1949). Minneapolis: Lund Press, 1949.
Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church in the St. Anthony Falls area of Minneapolis is the oldest continuously used church building in the city. It was a source of ethnic pride for immigrant families from France after its founding in 1877. In 2017, it is a restored and renovated country-Gothic (Gothic Revival and French Provincial) structure that looks like a medieval temple of faith.
