Father Joe shares how you can visit the Grotto in Lourdes every day as we continue our virtual Marian pilgrimage through France.

 Just two hours from the famous apparition site of Lourdes is the monastery of Notre Dame de Prouille. Here St. Dominic founded the Dominican order and Our Lady appeared to him to give him the prayer of the Rosary.

Initially, St. Bernadette's pastor didn't believe that she was seeing the Blessed Virgin Mary appear to her; no doubt it would be a difficult thing to believe!Father Joe talks in front of the parish church where St. Bernadette was baptized and received her First Holy Communion.
