Our Lady of Lourdes:  –  11th February  –  In 1858 the Immaculate Virgin Mary appeared to Bernadette Soubirous near Lourdes in France, in the grotto of Massabielle. Through the poor child, Mary called sinners to penance, and thereby there arose in the Church a marvellous spirit of prayer and charity, especially in helping the poor and the sick.

The month of February is dedicated to the Holy Family. This year all of February fall during the liturgical season known as Ordinary Time which is represented by the liturgical colour green.  Green, the symbol of hope, is the colour of the sprouting seed and arouses in the faithful the hope of reaping the eternal harvest of heaven, especially the hope of a glorious resurrection. The Liturgical season of Lent starts with Ash Wednesday on 2nd March. The liturgical colour changes to purple — a symbol of penance, mortification and the sorrow of a contrite heart.
