Your Intentions Carried to Lourdes

Lourdes Pilgrimage—A Sacred Invitation for Everyone
In just a few weeks, intentions from supporters across the world will be carried to the holy Grotto of Lourdes in France—a place where Heaven touched Earth and miracles continue to unfold. Whether you are familiar with Lourdes or learning about it for the first time, this invitation opens a door to a powerful spiritual experience.

What Is Lourdes—and Why It Matters
Lourdes is a sacred site where the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to a young girl named St. Bernadette in 1858. Since that time, millions have journeyed there seeking healing, peace, and a closer connection to God. It is known as a place of grace, where prayers are lifted and miracles witnessed.

Each year, Fr. David Uribe, OMI makes a pilgrimage to Lourdes, carrying the prayers and intentions of those who wish to join in spirit. He shares:

“Arriving in Lourdes, France, I looked upon the Grotto where Our Lady appeared to St. Bernadette. I was entrusted with the intentions of so many. I knew that I was here to bring your prayers and hopes to this sacred place, renowned for healing miracles. It is comforting to know that you are here with me in faith and in every prayer offered.” — Lourdes, February 2025
