FRANCE – LOURDES: High School Students from the Mennaisian Network serving the Sick

Two thousand High School Students were in Lourdes for the Rosary Pilgrimage from October 1st to 5th, 2024, including 94 Young People from the Mennaisian Network accompanied by 14 Adults. Who came from Blain-Derval, Guérande, Ploërmel La Mennais, Ploërmel La Touche, Redon, Loudéac, Lourdes, Rennes, Retiers, Saint Nazaire, Savenay and Saint Malo. From Morning to Night, they pulled and pushed the Sick people’s Chairs, in Joy.

Testimony of one of them:

“AN INVITATION TO JOURNEY… That trip to Lourdes was surely one of the Most Formative for each of us. We all arrived with different Motivations and Paths and yet we all left amazed, with Our Expectations exceeded.

The Atmosphere of Lourdes was so Extraordinary that it could not be described, it must be experienced: That Fraternity, that Mutual Aid, those Intergenerational Exchanges…

For more than three days we walked alongside the Sick, ourselves accompanied by Our Leaders and the Hospital Workers present on Site, in the Footsteps of St. Bernadette.

That Crowd of more than 16,000 people gathered at the Sanctuary was a Testimony of Hope, Love and Unity Unique to Lourdes.

That Entire Pilgrimage was a Powerful Message of Universal Peace sent to the World, which so badly needs it at this Time.

We look forward to seeing you Next Year for the 117th Rosary Pilgrimage, to participate in that Unique Human Formation by serving endearing and Fraternal Pilgrims.

Pierre Gerbaud from the 1st D Class of La Mennais High School in Guérande
