The Lourdes Center is the original distributor of Lourdes Water in the United States and Canada, and was established in 1950 by Boston Archbishop, Cardinal Richard J. Cushing, and the Bishop of Lourdes, France, Most Reverend Pierre-Marie Theas.

Our Mission is to promote a loving devotion to Our Lady of Lourdes, and to distribute Lourdes Water in North America, along with providing Lourdes Water directly from France, the Lourdes Center also publishes the free monthly newsletter “Echoes from Lourdes,” and conducts Pilgrimages to Our Lady’s Shrine in Lourdes, France.

The first shipment of Lourdes Water arrived in the United States in January, 1951, and since that time thousands of requests for Lourdes Water come from all over North America each year. Approximately 25,000 bottles of water are distributed each month by mail.

Please contact us if you would like to order Lourdes Water. The Lourdes Center emphasizes that, in itself, Lourdes Water is merely water from the spring at Lourdes. It has no curative or miraculous ingredients, and Our Lady who appeared to Bernadette never made a promise about the miraculous or healing effects of the water.

Due to one’s faith and God’s mercy, however, Lourdes Water has been miraculous for many who have used it. The Church has officially recognized 66 miracles resulting from individuals who used Lourdes Water or journeyed to Lourdes on a pilgrimage.
