Our family is very tied-into the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes: my husband and I met while we were teaching at Our Lady of Lourdes School …. we were married at Our Lady of Lourdes Church … two of our children were baptized at Our Lady of Lourdes Church … we’ve been very blessed to go on pilgrimage to Lourdes, France as a family twice:once in 2000 and again in 2001. My maternal great-grandfather came from the beret-making Basque village of Oloron-Ste.Marie, about 20 miles west of Lourdes in the Pyrennes. We’ve prayed novenas for OLL’s intercessions numerous times.

Our Lady of Lourdes, the Immaculate Conception, pray for us who have recourse to you!
