Patron of illness, people ridiculed for their piety, poverty, shepherds, shepherdesses, and Lourdes, France.
 
Saint Bernadette, also known as Bernadette of Lourdes at the age fourteen was blessed with seeing the Blessed Mother eighteen times in the Grotto on the outskirts of the village. The humble visionary relayed the simple Messages from Heaven still relevant for us today with faithful accuracy to the Church and government officials. She lived her simple life in seclusion and away from notoriety at Lourdes for eight years following the apparitions.
Bernadette entered religious life to become a Sister of Charity and Christian Instruction at Nevers in 1866. During her remaining years at St. Gildard Convent she lived her life of prayer and penance to holiness and sanctity dying in 1879. She remains incorrupt at the convent located about 500 miles northeast of Lourdes, or two hours south of Paris, where pilgrims can visit for a few hours or enjoy an extended stay for private retreat.
Saint Bernadette is the patron of illness, people ridiculed for their piety, poverty, shepherds, shepherdesses, and Lourdes, France.
Saint Bernadette, pray for us!
