Celebrate the birthday of St Bernadette by joining in a Virtual Pilgrimage. The evening festivities look like a day at Lourdes in France. The evening’s festivities will include the following;

• Welcome & Introduction to the Pilgrimage:
  An introduction to St Bernadette Soubirous & the Apparitions of Our Lady
• The Message of Lourdes:
  In Prayer, Commentary and Catechesis
• The Apparitions of Prayer:
  Enter the Sanctuaries as a Pilgrim and touch the Grotto Rock
• The Apparitions of Penance:
  “Visit the Spring of Water”
• The Apparitions of Procession:
  “Visit the Sanctuaries” Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament & Benediction
• The Vocation of Bernadette & the Living Message of Lourdes
• Farewell Blessing & the Sign of Peace Singing Immaculate Mary

Everyone who comes will have an opportunity to touch the Grotto rocks, entrusted by the Bishops of Lourdes and will receive a bottle of the authentic graced Lourdes Water. Adoration and Benediction are also part of this wonderful prayer experience. A Plenary Indulgence has been granted by Papal Decree for those who attend. Don’t miss this opportunity to join the Virtual Pilgrimage with North American Lourdes Volunteers. Our Lady of Lourdes is inviting each of you with the same words she spoke to St Bernadette at the Grotto of Lourdes in 1858, “Would you do me a favour to come here...?”
