One of these services was to Lourdes Hospital. In 1954, Sister Celeste, Hospital Administrator, requested the Patronesses form a Women's Auxiliary, which represented all faiths. The need for separate groups, Auxiliary and Volunteer, became evident as the hospital grew. The Auxiliary focused on fundraising and social activities while the Volunteers contributed their time and talents to many areas of the hospital, under the direction of Volunteer Services. Over the years, the Auxiliary has been involved in many projects and activities for Lourdes.
Membership varies in number, but there has always been a consistency of support.
