Happy 23rd Anniversary to our beloved association and to each one of our devoted members!

Lourdes Volunteers

We are deeply grateful for each of you who shares in our sacred mission. Just as every member of a family holds a unique and vital role, each person in the North American Volunteers is a precious part of our spiritual family.

Over the years, your generosity has continually inspired us – through your faithful prayers, financial support and tireless volunteer efforts, that uplift and sustain our work.

Our mission continues to flourish because of you. Whether through service, support, or prayer, each contribution strengthens our shared purpose. Together, we form a beautiful spiritual bond, bringing the grace and healing of Lourdes to others in ways that are deeply personal yet united in faith.

Our shared charism transcends boundaries, joining us beyond our homes, parishes, and dioceses, as one family through Our Lady of Lourdes and her Son, Jesus.

With heartfelt thanks, we celebrate OUR Family! — Happy Anniversary!

The 18th & Last Apparition in Lourdes

On July 16, 1858, the Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Bernadette felt a familiar pull to return to the Grotto, where she will meet the Immaculate Conception once more, but the Grotto was barricaded by the government.

From the other side of the river, Bernadette said, “Our Lady appeared closer to me and more beautiful than ever.”

Having made her First Communion, and receiving Jesus, truly present in the Blessed Sacrament, it’s as if she had a special lens to see heavenly things more clearly.
