Day 8: First Full Day in Lourdes!!

by Steve Ray on April 9, 2024

It was raining today, but we all started out with good spirits anyway. We walked up to the huge basilica, and had Mass in the chapel of Saint Joan of Arc. Cozy little chapel just for our own private group.

Then we took a tour of all of the shrine areas with Teresa who, as usual, gave us all a great and impassioned explanation of everything we saw — the churches, the grotto, the water, the statues, the shops and much more.

We all broke up at 11:30 and everybody had the rest of the day to enjoy lunches and dinners, and shopping and resting and confession, and the waters of Lourdes, and much more.

The first video is of our day in general, and the second short video is the evening Rosary procession.
