On 16th July, the Sanctuary of Lourdes celebrated the 167th anniversary of the last Apparition of the Virgin Mary to Bernadette Soubirous.

The scouts gave thanks to Our Lady of Lourdes by carrying the Virgin in procession from the Youth Village to the Sanctuary to join pilgrims from all over the world who had come to take part in the torch-lit Marian procession. In Lourdes, pilgrims from all over the world are the people of God walking together towards his Son.

To mark this special date in the local calendar, the Sisters of the Daughters of the Church proudly presented the new large graphic panels depicting the history of the Soubirous family, who welcome pilgrims to the Boly Mill.
