Fundraising campaign for sound system
Hello everyone,
The sound system of the Sanctuary is very old and no longer works.
We have rented 2 speakers to finish the 2025 season.
We therefore seek out for your help.
Your donations will help pay for the rental of the speakers
and will allow to repair or replace the current faulty sound system.
To make your donation, please click here for more details.
Through the intercession of Our Lady of Lourdes,
may you receive abundant blessings for your support for this special project.
Thank you very much for your great generosity!
The management of the Sanctuary N-D de Lourdes of Rigaud.
In 1874 ...
... situated at the foot of the Rigaud mountain, amidst the beauty of nature, Our Lady of Lourdes Sanctuary became a place of pilgrimage under the ministry of the Clerics of St-Viateur.
Supported by a team of staff and volunteers, the priests and brothers assist the faithful through individual spiritual direction, faith education and proclamation of the Gospel message through dynamic liturgical celebrations.
“The water that I shall give him will become in him a spring of water, welling up to eternal life.”
