Holy Week at the Lourdes Grotto, 16-23 March 2008




Photos: Pilgrims at the Lourdes Grotto, Holy Week 2007

Holy Week began with Palm Sunday, 16 March. During this week we remember the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus. The Lourdes Grotto becomes a center of pilgrimage, especially on Good Friday, Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday. The road up the hill will be closed to vehicular traffic for the safety of the thousands who visit the Grotto and for the preservation of the quiet and prayerful atmosphere, which is proper to this week of prayer and meditation.

Prayer services will also be held at the Grotto. Inquire at the Mirador Jesuit Villa for the schedule.
