Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes
11th February marks the date of the first Apparition of the Virgin Mary to Bernadette Soubirous. In 1992, Pope John Paul II declared this day World Day of the Sick.
As every year, the Sanctuary of Lourdes is inviting the whole world to pray to Our Lady of Lourdes, in a worldwide call to prayer. The World Day of Prayer to Our Lady of Lourdes, invites everyone to unite in prayer with all the pilgrims who will be present in the Sanctuary or joining us from their homes.
Light a candle for your intentions
Like thousands of pilgrims from all over the world, you can ask for a candle to be lit for your intentions.
The “feutiers” (candlemen) of the Sanctuary will light it for you at the Chapels of Light, opposite the Grotto, the following day at 16:00/4pm CET.
The Sanctuary survives purely on donations
