The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes, in the Pyrenees mountains in Southern France, is a unique place of peace, prayer, hope, and the healing of mind, body and spirit.
Since the 18 Apparitions of the Virgin Mary over 22 weeks in 1858 to Bernadette Soubirous, an impoverished, illiterate, and sick local girl, millions of people from all faiths and from all over the world travel to the Grotto in Lourdes seeking consolation and fraternity in the universal Message of Our Lady.
To date 72 healings have been declared miraculous, with over 7,000 cases of healing studied by the Lourdes Medical Bureau, and thousands more undocumented.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

During the Apparitions, Our Lady said to Bernadette \u201cGo tell the priests to build a chapel here and come in procession\u201d, \u201cGo drink at the spring and wash\u201d and \u201cPenance\u201d.
The Message has a universal appeal for everyone in its simplicity, and especially for those who do not have the words to express themselves. They come to Lourdes and find answers, often through prayer and the sacraments, including the Eucharist and Reconciliation.
Like Bernadette, they touch the rock of the Grotto, drink the water from the spring and wash, and light a candle \u2013 they experience the grace of Lourdes.
In an increasingly frenetic world, the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes is a beautiful place to pause and focus on personal spiritual growth. Priorities in Lourdes seem \u2018right side up\u2019: the most vulnerable come first and each serves the other.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Just 4 years after the Apparitions the then Bishop of Tarbes, Mgr Bertrand-S\u00e9v\u00e8re Laurence, declared \u201cTo comply with the will of the Blessed Virgin expressed several times during the Apparitions, we propose to build a sanctuary on the ground of the Grotto which has become the property of the bishops of Tarbes\u201d (pastoral letter of 18 January 1862).
Subsequent Bishops (\u201cthe guardians of the Grotto\u201d) and Rectors have undertaken extensive, ambitious, and bold programs of work, to cater for the pilgrims and their constantly evolving numbers and needs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The 1905 law led to the separation of the State and Church in France \u2013 the French State does not subsidize any religion or religious activity.
The Sanctuary is an entirely private property. It receives no funds from the French State, the Catholic Church in France, the Vatican.
The Sanctuary relies solely on donations, offerings, and bequests, and to a lesser extent the contribution from pilgrimages and the accommodation of sick pilgrims, hospitaliers and volunteers, which cover the annual operating budget. Each year funds are allocated to essential investments.
Donations to the Sanctuary are tax deductible for donors who pay taxes in the US or in France.
Entrance to the Sanctuary is free of charge.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
