The Miracle of Lourdes
Beginning on February 11th, 1858, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to Bernadette Soubirous in the grotto of a large rock outside the town of Lourdes, France. All in all there were 18 distinct apparitions, the last one occurring on July 16th of that same year.

"O GOD, Protector and Lover of the Humble, who hast bestowed upon Thy handmaid
Marie Bernarde the favor of beholding the Immaculate Virgin Mary, and of conversing
with her; grant, we beseech Thee, that walking through the simple paths of faith,
we may in the end behold Thee in Heaven." |
Parish Mission Statement
"What then is a parish? It is the smallest section of the one universal flock which has been entrusted to Peter by the Lord. Under the authority of a responsible priest who has received the care of souls from his bishop, the parish is, within the Church of Jesus Christ, the first community of Christian life; it is a community cut to human dimensions, in which the shepherd can know his flock and the flock can know their shepherd. At the heart of this area, we find the parish church with its bell-tower, its baptistery, its confessional, its altar and tabernacle, a symbol of unity and the centre of community life." - Blessed Pope Paul VI, reigned 1964-1978

SPECIAL INTENTION |
O good St. Gerard, powerful intercessor before God and Wonderworker of our day, I call upon thee and seek thy aid. Thou who on this earth didst always fulfill God's designs, help me to do the Holly Will of God. Beseech the Master of Life, from Whom all paternity proceedeth, to render me fruitful in offspring, that I may raise up children to God in this life and heirs to the Kingdom of His Glory in the world to come. Amen
