U.S. soldiers can experience transformation and healing where the Virgin Mary appeared to St. Bernadette Soubirous in 1858. More than 175 active-duty personnel and veterans are participating in the pilgrimage this year, led by Archbishop Timothy Broglio.
Airing Dec. 8, the program highlights the recent journey of Order of Malta-sponsored pilgrims to the Marian shrine.
Despite being vaccinated and taking other precautions, 46 out of 294 people on a Lourdes pilgrimage contracted COVID, but no one was hospitalized for the virus, or had regrets, and organizers are weighing the lessons learned.
The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes in southern France is built upon the site where the young Bernadette Soubirous witnessed Marian apparitions, beginning on Feb. 11, 1858.
