Our Lady of Lourdes

Our Lady of Lourdes appeared to St. Bernadette multiple times. On one occasion, she directed her to go to the spring and “drink at the spring and wash in it”. To this day people make pilgrimages to the spring due to belief in it’s healing properties. There have been over 60 confirmed miracles there.

Our Lady of Lourdes is the patron saint of bodily ills, sick people, and protection from diseases. Her feast day is February 11.

To honor Mary with youth on this day, learn more about the Immaculate Conception or add some fun with a water game.
