"The family that prays together stays together." - Venerable Patrick Peyton
Healing the family | Return to the Church
In 1858, Our Lady chose a cold rainy day in the dumping grounds of a town in France to show to our world that the Kingdom of God has come upon us! Something started almost invisibly … yet since then, the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes has been a very visible sign of the Kingdom of God.

Everyone has heard of Lourdes and Saint Bernadette and something of apparitions and miracle healings there, but did you know that it all began because our Blessed Mother came to prepare young Bernadette to receive her first Holy Communion? It’s as simple as that.

Jesus was saying some things that were so amazing, the group was left speechless. Maybe they couldn’t believe they were hearing words that would have been so blasphemous to their ears!

Holy lives of inspiration | Strengthening family unity
Traditions say that the apostle Bartholomew made it as far away as India to evangelize and after some time, followed trade routes up to Armenia! That’s a pretty impressive missionary career! He and his good friend, the Apostle Jude, got the evangelization off to a good start.

Celebrating family life | Why pray?
Father Peyton often said that, even though he came from a large poor family, he was rich. His home gave him everything. Because Jesus and Mary were at the center, faith was his family’s foundation. Family prayer, specifically daily prayer of the Rosary, gave him all he needed to become all the Lord made him to be.
