Lourdes Senior Community

Lourdes Senior Community is a non-profit, continuing care retirement community. Over 250 seniors liv

In 1948, at the request of Archbishop Edward Mooney, the Dominican Sisters of Oxford began caring for the elderly in their previous motherhouse nestled along the shores of Scott Lake – a stunning location reflecting the beauty of God’s creation. Today, more than 60 years later, Lourdes Senior Community, a non-profit, continuing care retirement community, has grown into a neighborhood of 250 seniors living in four distinct residences. Fox Manor offers independent living, Mendelson Home provides assisted living, Clausen Manor cares for those living with dementia and Lourdes Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center offers long-term care and a rehabilitation center. Lourdes Senior Community has a long history of quality healthcare services and programs. In 2013, the Lourdes Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center was named one of the nation’s best by U.S. News & World Report magazine, and the overall community was selected Best of the Best for senior living for the sixth year in a row by readers of the Oakland Press, a suburban Detroit daily newspaper. In addition, Clausen Manor and the Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center previously received Michigan Governor Care Awards, and each year our facilities pass state surveys with exemplary records.

“He will save his people from their sins.” - Matthew 1:21

Faithful God, as we light the fourth candle of Advent, we give thanks for the gift of love You poured into the world through Jesus. Your love is patient, steadfast, and far greater than anything we could earn or imagine.

Teach us to love as You love — with compassion, forgiveness, and kindness for those around us. In this busy season, open our eyes to the people who need a gentle word, a helping hand, or a moment of care.

May Your love take root in our hearts and shine through our actions, drawing our community closer to You and to one another.

Amen.

“I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.” - Luke 2:10

Gracious God,

As we light the third candle of Advent, we celebrate the joy You bring into the world. Not the fleeting joy that depends on perfect days or perfect plans, but the deep and steady joy that comes from knowing You are near.

Open our hearts to the good news the angels proclaimed — that Your love is for everyone, in every season of life. Help us to notice the small, simple joys that brighten our days: a kind word, a shared laugh, a moment of peace.

Fill our spirits with gladness, even in the midst of challenges, and remind us that true joy is found in Your presence.

Amen.

Thank you to the Pulte Family Charitable Foundation for your continued generosity and partnership with Lourdes Senior Community. Your support over the years has made a meaningful difference in the lives of our residents, and we are grateful for your commitment to our Mission.

This year, your gift is helping support our Religious Sister Housing Project, providing a welcoming home for several members of the Dominican Sisters of Peace, our sponsoring congregation. These Sisters not only call Lourdes home, they enrich our community each day through their presence, their service, and the compassion they share with our seniors.

Your support helps ensure that this legacy of care, faith, and kindness continues to flourish at Lourdes.

Thank you, Pulte Foundation, for standing with us.

✨ Tree of Life: A Celebration of Love and Memory ✨

This holiday season, our hearts are aglow at Lourdes Senior Community as we partner with Angela Hospice for our Tree of Life. Each angel ornament we hang is a testament to the love, memories, and cherished moments we hold dear.

With trees beautifully adorned across all our resident facilities, we are filled with gratitude for the stories each ornament tells; the laughter, the love, and the legacies that continue to inspire us.

Join us as we embrace the warmth of community, the strength of memories, and the spirit of togetherness. This season, let’s celebrate the lives we've cherished and the love that surrounds us all.

12/08/2025

This time of year can be wonderful… and overwhelming. When your to-do list feels endless or your heart feels heavy, take a moment to breathe. You are doing the best you can and that is enough.

As we move through the holiday season, may we slow down and reflect on what truly matters. It’s not the perfect decorations, the long errands, or the busy schedules that make this time of year special. It’s the love we show to others, the kindness we share, the moments of connection, and the warmth we bring into someone’s day.

Give yourself grace, focus on what fills your heart, and let peace guide your week.

“Greetings, you who are highly favored. The Lord is with you.” - Luke 1:28

Loving God, as we light the second candle of Advent, we pause to welcome Your gift of peace. Just as the angel spoke calm and courage to Mary, speak peace into our hearts today. In a world full of noise, worries, and hurried moments, help us find stillness in Your presence.

Quiet our anxious thoughts and remind us that we are never alone. You are with us, guiding and comforting us through every season. Fill our homes and our community with a peace that softens our hearts and makes room for Your love.

May this week lead us to deeper trust, gentler spirits, and a quiet confidence in Your faithful care.

Amen.
