Our Lady of Lourdes Grotto in Saint Malo

Come and Embrace Our Lady’s Hope! Diocesan Pilgrimage in St. Malo – August 17, 2025

Jubilation! Everyone is invited to the diocesan pilgrimage to the Grotto of Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes in Saint-Malo on August 17. This special Marian celebration will be an opportunity for praise, healing and joy. All the more so as we are in the middle of a Jubilee year and the Grotto is an official shrine of the Jubilee 2025.

Mass in French will be celebrated at 9am. Mass in English will be celebrated at 11am. There will be an opportunity for confession before each Mass. After each Mass, you will be able to buy food from a vendor on site.

At 2 p.m., we invite you to prayers of healing, adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, the rosary and songs of praise.

Bring the whole family! Bring your grandparents and elders! By car, or preferably by van, and even better by parish bus, to avoid overcrowding the car park.

Tell your friends! Bring your own picnic chairs! In case of rain, the celebrations will be held at the church in Saint-Malo.

To find out more about the history of the Grotto, and the spiritual benefits of pilgrimages, we invite you to read A Time Set Aside for Christ and Our Lady, a conversation with Archbishop Albert LeGatt.
