 Welcome To Lourdes!
Lourdes Virtual Pilgrimage is a guided spiritual journey offering
the experience of Lourdes in a local interactive pilgrimage event.

Prayerful Reflection: is the invitation to contemplate, in

silence, throughout this interactive spiritual experience.

Grotto Rock is a piece of the actual relic where the

Immaculate Conception appeared to Bernadette in Lourdes in 1858.

Lourdes Water: is provided to all pilgrims and is authentic,

undiluted Lourdes Water from the Spring in the Grotto of Lourdes, France.

Eucharistic Blessing is offered by a Catholic Priest or

Deacon after Exposition and Adoration of the Most Blessed Sacrament.

Candlelight Procession praying one to five decades of the

Rosary with lit candles, seated or in procession, concludes the pilgrimage.
Choir and pilgrims sing, as in Lourdes, adding to the solemnity of the
Pilgrimage experience and elevating a tribute to Our Lady of Lourdes.

About Lourdes
In 1858 the Mother of God appeared to Bernadette Soubirous, a
young girl of the little town of Lourdes in the Pyrenees Mountains
in southern, France. In all, there were 18 apparitions which
included requests to pray, do penance, uncover a spring of water,
build a chapel and come in procession. Since then, thousands of
scientifically documented cures, countless healings and conversions
have been attributed to the intercession of Our Lady of Lourdes.
