Dear Friend,
Happy Feast Day! This familiar greeting is common on February 11 among the Oblate priests who live and work in Lourdes, France. It was on that day in 1858 that Our Lady appeared to young Bernadette in the famous grotto – beginning a tradition of hope and healing that continues to this day.
I invite you to experience the healing and hope of Lourdes – from the comfort of your own home. The Oblates would be honored to carry your prayers to Lourdes, France in your honor. Just follow these steps:
- Request your complimentary bottle of Lourdes water. To show my appreciation for your prayers and generosity, I’d like to send you a bottle of this special water, which was first uncovered by St. Bernadette in 1858.
- Send me your personal prayer intentions. I will see that your prayers are delivered to that most special place of healing – the Sacred Grotto in Lourdes, France.
- Choose a Lourdes Devotional Gift. I would be pleased to send you one of our beautiful Lourdes Devotional Gifts in gratitude for your offering.
- Have a Memorial placed in honor of a loved one. The National Shrine of Our Lady of the Snows in Belleville, Illinois features a near-exact replica of the Lourdes Grotto in France. You can have an engraved Memorial plaque placed at this special devotional site – a beautiful way to honor a loved one.
- Send a donation to support the worldwide ministries of the Missionary Oblates. Your generosity is truly appreciated and much needed by the people we serve.
I will be sure to send your special intentions to Lourdes where the Missionary Oblates will remember you in prayer. May you and your loved ones enjoy good health and happiness! God bless you!
In Jesus Christ and Mary Immaculate,
Fr. John Madigan, O.M.I.
Oblate Chaplain Director
P.S. For a gift of $25, a Healing Votive Candle will be lit for you at the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Snows. Or, for a gift of $50, you can have a Lourdes Healing Candle lit at the Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes in France.
