Spiritual gatherings in Lourdes

Lourdes, in the foothills of the Pyrenees, is home to the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes, one of the great healing pilgrimages of the world. Pilgrims pray at the grotto, bathe in the spring water, and walk in the evening torchlight procession.

The sacred life of Lourdes

History

In 1858 a young woman, Bernadette Soubirous, reported a series of apparitions of the Virgin Mary at the grotto of Massabielle, where a spring rose. Pilgrims — many of them sick — have come ever since.

Why it’s sacred

A place of prayer and hope for healing, where the care of the sick and the volunteers who accompany them are at the heart of the pilgrimage.

Questions about practising in Lourdes

Do I need to book, or can I turn up?
Book. Rooms have limited capacity and the free evenings often fill faster than the paid ones, because nothing is risked by registering.
I've never been to anything like this — is that okay?
Look for the first-timer mark. Every listing that carries it has answered the questions a newcomer is afraid to ask. Plenty in Lourdes are made for a first visit.
What if the price is the obstacle?
Many gatherings here are free, and some facilitators offer a sliding scale — pay what you can, no questions asked, and no one sees what you chose.
How do I hear about new dates?
Follow a facilitator and you're told when they open something in Lourdes. No other notification is sent unless you ask for it.
Is everything in person?
No — some gatherings are held online, and each listing names its format and, for online ones, the time zone.
