The Pastoral Assembly at the Parish of Our Lady of Lourdes, Noakhali for the year 2025 was held on 28 March. The program commenced with an opening prayer and a formal introduction of all participants.
Guided by the pastoral theme for the year—“The Lord is my Shepherd” (Psalm 23:1)—the assembly focused on strategic planning, reflection, and deepening spiritual fellowship among the faithful.
His Grace Archbishop Lawrence Subrato Howlader, CSC, Archbishop of the Chattogram Catholic Archdiocese, presented the Archbishop’s Pastoral Letter. This was followed by a presentation and discussion centered on the annual pastoral theme, including personal insights and collective reflection on the theme of fellowship.
Participants then engaged in group workshops to further explore the theme. The outcomes of these workshops were presented, evaluated, and discussed among the attendees.
The assembly concluded with the celebration of the Holy Eucharist, marking a spiritually enriching and collaborative gathering for the new pastoral year.
