Feast Day: 16th April

St. Bernadette was a young girl from Lourdes in France who is best known for seeing visions of the Virgin Mary in 1858. Mary appeared to her in a grotto and asked for prayer and repentance. At first, many people did not believe Bernadette, but she remained humble and faithful to what she had seen and heard.

Today, St. Bernadette is remembered for her simplicity, courage, and strong faith. Lourdes has become a place of pilgrimage and healing, and her story inspires us to trust in God, remain humble, and stay true to what is right, even when it is difficult.
