Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes: Mass at the Grotto in Lourdes –

Tuesday 11th February 2024

A blessed Feast Day to you all! Greetings from Lourdes – please join us for Mass in English at the Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes, Tuesday 11th February 2025.

During this mass, we bring to the Grotto all the prayers and petitions of those who have asked for them over the course of the Novena to Our Lady of Lourdes in the Oblate Parishes in Dublin and London, and all other locations who have sent them to us, and also those who have been sent in online.

We especially pray for the sick on this World Day of the Sick. The Grotto in Lourdes is a holy place where Mary appeared to Saint Bernadette on this day in 1858. We are united in prayer today on this feast day and look forward to later this year in September when we will  travel together in pilgrimage to Lourdes once again.

Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us! Saint Bernadette, pray for us! O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to you! Save the dates: 14-19 September 2025 – we invite you to join the Oblate pilgrimage in Lourdes.
