Volunteering at the Lourdes Sanctuary
Since the apparitions of the Virgin Mary in 1858, millions of people from all over the world have come to Lourdes each year to experience the grace of this place. The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes is above all the place of healing of bodies and hearts, where one comes to humbly pray to the one who revealed her name to Bernadette Soubirous: “I am the Immaculate Conception.”
The message of Lourdes, a treasure to discover
Coming to Lourdes for the first time means above all looking and discovering this place where the Virgin Mary appeared eighteen times in 1858. It means feeling the faith of the thousands of pilgrims who respond to Our Lady's call to “come here in procession.” and observe the hope of all the sick pilgrims who come to the Grotto in search of a little consolation and – why not – the grace of healing. Seeing the charity of all those, volunteers and hospitable, who come to serve others, means living the Message of Lourdes in practice.
