On 19th October the Relics of St Bernadette of Lourdes will visit St Patrick’s Cathedral, Armagh and gives us all a chance to venerate this most humble saint who was an instrument in bringing God’s hope and love to so many at the Shrine where she witnessed the apparitions of Our Lady at Lourdes. St Bernadette was witness to the 18 Apparitions of Our Lady at the Grotto of Massabielle in Lourdes in 1858 and since then millions have travelled to the shrine in hope of cures and strengths and grace in their lives. countless miracles have occurred and endless more have known God’s help in their lives as a result of prayer, His Blessing, Her intercession and the guidance of Str Bernadette. This is the first time her Relics have ever visited this country, and a day of prayer has been organised to give as many people as possible an opportunity to pray before her shrine. Do consider a brief pilgrimage to the Cathedral on that day to avail of the graces of her intercession and to grow in communal faith and worship through her presence. The details of her visit are as follows
