Honouring Our Lady of Lourdes
We celebrate the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes on February 11th. When Bernadette asked the Lady at the Grotto who she was, she was given the answer, “I am the Immaculate Conception” From the beginning of her existence, Mary was preserved from all the sinful condition of the rest of mankind. God’s mother did not want anything that God himself did not want. That was what the Immaculate Conception means.

From the time that Our Lady appeared to Bernadette in Lourdes very great crowds of pilgrims have continued to come to the Shrine, especially people praying for special help or miracles of being cured of some illness. The Archdiocesan Pilgrimage to Lourdes this year will be from 13th to 18th June. Youth Section details are available from Fr. Pat Coffey at 062 2146.
