Day 9 |
Lourdes
Our group joins thousands of pilgrims
from all over at one of the most frequented
pilgrimage sites of the world. We visit the
Shrine and take a walking tour of places
associated with the life of St. Bernadette,
including the Grotto of Massabielle. This is the
site upon which a beautiful lady proclaimed
to Bernadette that she was the Immaculate
Conception. We will also see the Cachot
(formerly a jail) where Bernadette lived. The
Basilica of St. Pius X, considered the world’s
largest underground church, will also be
part of the tour. Enjoy private meditation and
prayer, including an opportunity to bathe and
receive the miraculous water of Lourdes.
In the evening, we will participate in the
candlelight procession. (B, D)

and prayers with thousands of other pilgrims.
Tonight, enjoy our last group dinner together
reflecting on our beautiful pilgrimage. (B, D)
Day 11 |
