Renew your spirit, deepen your faith, and connect with the miraculous legacy of one of the most cherished holy sites in the world.
Join us on The Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes for a retreat centered on the profound history, miracles, and spiritual significance of Lourdes. This day offers an opportunity to reflect on the enduring grace and healing associated with this sacred place, fostering a deeper connection to faith and hope.
The day begins with the story of the 18 apparitions of the Virgin Mary to Saint Bernadette in 1858, a series of events that have inspired faith and devotion for generations. We will reflect on the many healings attributed to Lourdes, including 71 medically verified physical miracles that stand as a testament to the power of faith and divine intervention.
Participants will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the present-day experience of Lourdes through a one-hour video showcasing the shrine, as well as a moving “60 Minutes” interview with one of the individuals who experienced a miraculous healing. Fr. Owens will offer two insightful presentations, exploring the spiritual significance of what happened at Lourdes and how its message of healing and hope continues to touch lives today.
Lunch will be served at Noon. In the afternoon, there will be time for quiet Adoration before Mass at 2:45pm.
Fr. Bernie Owens, SJ
