Dear Brothers and Sisters,

We are approaching not only the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, but also the 2026 season in which, after the Year of Hope when we were all pilgrims of hope with Mary, we will enter the Year of Grace.

Thus, considering our bond with Lourdes and the place of the solemnity of the Immaculate Conception, we share with you the theme for the year 2026 and the novena of the Immaculate for 2025.

Indeed, next year, the theme for meditation and prayer is “Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you,” and it is fitting that the members of the FNDL prepare themselves for this Year of Grace.

To all of you, we wish a good preparation for this great feast of our Mother and a fruitful meditation on the theme for the year 2026.

May Our Lady of Lourdes intercede for us!
Happy Feast of the Immaculate Conception and a blessed ascent toward the Advent season.

Dear Family,

With great joy we would like to invite you to continue following in the footsteps of Bernadette. During the Advent mission, we will have the wonderful opportunity to hear Father Brito speak. Former rector of the Sanctuary of Lourdes, and current Chaplain of the Hospitality of Our Lady of Lourdes in France.

Father Brito, in addition to being an extraordinary speaker, possesses a very spiritual and profound understanding of the message of Lourdes.

As pilgrims of hope, we will have the beautiful opportunity to demonstrate with our presence the Love we received in Lourdes and to let Him know our gratitude and commitment. Invite your friends, bring your loved ones with love to live this unparalleled experience.

Lourdes is the place where the neediest are in the front row.
