Pilgrims will also receive a bottle of authentic\, undiluted Lourdes Water from the Spring in Lourdes as a keepsake. \nWhat better way to virtually experience Lourdes than to attend this pilgrimage at our nation’s preeminent Marian shrine and patronal church\, the Basilica of the National Shrine\, dedicated to our Lady under her title\, the Immaculate Conception. \nThose who attend are invited to participate in the National Shrine’s 12:10 p.m. Mass in the Crypt Church before and the 4:30 p.m. Vigil Mass of the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ King of the Universe in the Great Upper Church after to begin and end this special pilgrimage. \nRegister to Attend
