Passing on a legacy of faith and hope: the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes guarantees you personalised support and meticulous management of your legacy. To respect your generosity, we are committed to eight essential principles.

REASON NO. 1. Your choice of mission, at the heart of Lourdes

The Sanctuary of Lourdes uses every donation to care for the sick, maintain the holy site and pass on the message of the Virgin Mary. Your legacy will be allocated to the specific mission you wish to support. If you prefer, you can entrust us with the responsibility of allocating it according to the most pressing needs of the Sanctuary.

REASON 2. Effectiveness and tangible impact

Every generous donation is put towards the most necessary ventures: infrastructure renovation, care for vulnerable people, pastoral activities… Your legacy will contribute directly to visible, sustainable and carefully managed projects.

REASON NO. 3. Respect for your wishes

We honour all the terms of a will scrupulously, and the Sanctuary of Lourdes can accept simple or complex bequests, including those with specific conditions, such as liturgical requests, the maintenance of a burial site or spiritual guidance.

REASON NO. 4. Free, compassionate support

We offer you personalised, no-obligation support to help you think calmly about your succession plans. Our dedicated team is here to listen to you, and to make it as simple as possible.

REASON 5. Discretion and confidentiality

All our communications, whether by post, telephone, meeting in Lourdes or at your home, are strictly confidential. Your request will be treated with due care and discretion.

REASON 6. Proven expertise

We provide you with the legal advice and expertise you need, in collaboration with your solicitor if you wish. Our advisers are trained in the specificities of legacies, gifts and life insurance.

REASON 7. Professionalism and ethics

The representatives of the Sanctuary of Lourdes will work with you in a purely professional capacity. They do not take on any personal or private role and never intervene outside the framework of their mission.

REASON NO. 8. Transparency and integrity

The Sanctuary operates according to clear principles of disinterested management. No member of our team may receive a personal gift or be included as an individual in a will. All funds are used exclusively for the work of the Sanctuary.

Lourdes, a place for today and tomorrow

By choosing to leave a legacy to the Sanctuary of Lourdes, you are choosing to pass on a message of faith, peace and light to future generations.
