Lourdes holds deep significance as the place where **Mary appeared to Saint Bernadette 18 times**. During these apparitions, Mary entrusted Bernadette with several important messages: to **build a chapel**, to invite people to **come together in procession, walking and praying as a community**, and to **dig and drink from a spring**, which became a powerful sign of **healing, hope and faith**. Each year, **millions of people** journey to Lourdes seeking healing, comfort and renewal. The presence of the candles, the healing water, and the quiet stillness of the grotto all serve as gentle reminders that **light can shine even in darkness**, and that **hope can grow from the smallest of beginnings**. On Miss Robinson’s final evening in Lourdes, she took time to light candles and hold many people in prayer. One of these candles was lit especially for the **community of St Charles School**, carrying with it our hopes, prayers and intentions. A beautiful reminder that even when we are far from one another, we remain united through faith and prayer.
