A Grace Filled Afternoon of Prayer
in honour of
Our Lady of Lourdes
Sunday 8th February 2026
Lourdes is one of the most beloved shrines throughout the world. It is a place like no other. At Lourdes, people experience the gentle love and healing hand of God in a place resplendent in natural beauty.
So many millions have come to Our Lady of Lourdes burdened with their sufferings of various kinds: physical, emotional, spiritual and even financial. Millions have been consoled and healed by the love and power of the prayers of Our Lady of Lourdes, both at Lourdes itself and wherever She has been revered, and her intercession sought.
We will have individual blessing with Lourdes water

at the end of the Mass. Right from the beginning, cures were reported by people who had access to water from Lourdes. One of the first miracles involved a 16-year-old boy 16 named Henri Busquet, who had an agonising throat ulcer caused by tuberculosis. He was refused permission by his parents to visit Lourdes. Still, a neighbour provided him with some Lourdes water, and the agonising ulcer disappeared completely. When the son of Napoleon III was gravely ill, he was restored to complete health through water obtained from Lourdes. This miracle led the emperor to reopen the grotto to the public. Lourdes led to a great renewal of religious practice in France. Some historians state that Lourdes was the most crucial event in France during the 1800s. Many healings have been verified through rigorous scientific research. However, they certainly are the tip of the iceberg. Most people who are cured do not go through the lengthy process of having their cure verified.Our Lady is there to heal and bless wherever people gather in Her honour. Just a few years ago, one of our own members, Juliana, who had been confined to a wheelchair, was completely healed through Our Lady of Lourdes. Please do encourage others to come and receive the blessings. Just like at Lourdes, there will be a blessing with the Blessed Sacrament before the Benediction. Our Lady will be honoured with a procession as She requested. There will be a special healing Mass—so many graces and blessings. There will also be the First Class relic of the great and incorrupt St Bernadette Soubirous, one of the most loved saints, and the humble instrument chosen by God. Come and venerate her first-class relic and seek her intercession. Please enlighten and bring others to this very special event. Holy Cross Church is well served by public transport. Tram 67 stop 50 is just a few metres from the Church. Tram 67 connects to both Elsternwick and Glenhuntly stations. Tram 64 stop 57 will get you to a stroll of less than 400m. There is ample off-street parking at the side of the Church and at the rear of the Church via Murray Street. A day not to be missed!
