History
The church was built in 1955 and served the purpose as a meeting place of the Knights of Columbus Council 3290 where its members gathered regularly for various activities including the celebration of the Holy Eucharist. Attendees grew over time that it became a chapel with Fr. Thomas Chao its first chaplain.
In 1994, its status was elevated to a quasi-parish. It was then known as the Knights of Columbus Lourdes Church. A year later, it was declared an independent parish and it was renamed to Our Lady of Lourdes Parish Church.
Architecture
This modern church is a structure of sharp lines and forms, its imposing linear roof the most defining characteristic. The roof is a triangular complex consisting of three overlapping gables of varying dimensions each one bigger than the one preceding it going from the facade to the chancel and containing stunning stained glass works. These stained glass surfaces depicting theological scenes and the nave wall in the gospel flank, face the city thoroughfare.
Its entrance is through two quadrangular doors above which is a ribbed overhang of triangular motif, which serves as a portico. The facade is cut in half by a bell tower erected as a slender concrete church-wall, the other half occupied by another lateral edifice.
Its pediment follows the design sensibility of the roof. Its consists of a series of three gables, and the spaces in between are glass windowpanes.
In the interiors, the ceiling fans out from structural piers and into the triangular roof. A grotto can be found midway along the nave by the epistle wall.

The feast day of Our Lady of Lourdes falls on February 11.
