Pilgrimage to Lourdes

Rev. Howard Venette, FSSP
of Queen of Angels Oratory in St. Catharines, Ontario
Invites You to Join Him to

Lourdes
150th Anniversary Pilgrimage ~ September 17-25, 2008

The fame of the once-humble grotto of Massabielle is, like that of its beloved visitor St. Bernadette, universal in its scope. Catholics familiar with the events of a century and a half ago, which brought about the establishment of Our Lady’s renowned shrine at Lourdes, cannot but help be moved by its grace-filled story. Those who make this pilgrimage will experience a five-day immersion in the spirit of “the Lady” who communicated to St. Bernadette the truth about herself, the Immaculate Conception. Rounding out our spiritual journey, we will fly to Paris for a two night stay, in a city with its own tradition of saints and churches. Visits to the tombs of St. Catherine Laboure and St. Vincent de Paul, a tour of the famous church of Sacre-Coeur at Montmarte, and the piece de resistance—a visit to Notre-Dame Cathedral await the pilgrim here.

Holy Mass will be offered daily in the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite, known as the Traditional Latin Mass—the form of the Mass known and loved by St. Bernadette. Daily devotions, on-site tours, and time for personal prayer will enable each pilgrim to drink fully of the spirit of devotion and the spiritual history which await visitors to each holy site.
