Mary Lives Takes Its Mission of Prayer to Lourdes

Christian ministry announces 2027 Lourdes pilgrimage $5,000 sponsorship for an individual seeking healing, with applications open through March 31, 2027

ST. AUGUSTINE, FL, UNITED STATES, September 8, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Mary Lives, a Christian ministry dedicated to helping people grow closer to Jesus Christ through His mother, Mary, is taking its mission of prayer and healing to Lourdes, France, in 2027 by sponsoring an individual in need of healing on a pilgrimage to one of the world’s most significant Marian sites.
Mary Lives will dedicate up to $5,000 toward the pilgrimage for one selected applicant who is facing a life-threatening illness, financial hardship and a demonstrated spiritual need and commitment.

For Mary Lives, the sponsorship is a natural extension of a ministry built around the belief in the emotional, spiritual and physical healing that can come through prayer and devotion to the Blessed Mother.

“Lourdes represents so much of what Mary Lives stands for: prayer, hope, healing and trust in God,” said Peter Sesso, founder of Mary Lives. “We want to give someone who may not otherwise have the opportunity the chance to experience this sacred place and bring their prayers and intentions to Lourdes.”

Lourdes has welcomed pilgrims from around the world since 1858, when the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to 14-year-old St. Bernadette Soubirous. Today, people continue to travel there seeking healing, peace and a deeper encounter with their faith.

To be considered for the Mary Lives sponsorship, applicants must demonstrate a life-threatening illness, financial hardship, spiritual need and commitment, membership in good standing with their church, and the ability to safely travel. Applicants must also provide a letter from their physician verifying their medical condition and a letter from their pastor confirming their standing within their church and spiritual readiness for the pilgrimage.

The selected recipient will be responsible for choosing and arranging their own pilgrimage travel, with Mary Lives providing information about potential pilgrimage tours. Following the pilgrimage, the recipient will also have the opportunity to share their experience through a recorded interview with Mary Lives.

Applications must be received by March 31, 2027.

Through this sponsorship, Mary Lives hopes to do more than help fund a journey. The ministry hopes to give someone facing extraordinary circumstances an opportunity for prayer, reflection and hope in a place that has welcomed those seeking healing for generations.

Mary Lives is a Christian ministry dedicated to helping people deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ through devotion to His mother, Mary. Through weekly live Zoom Rosaries, personal testimonies, educational resources, videos, stories of faith and opportunities such as its Lourdes pilgrimage sponsorship, Mary Lives seeks to create a welcoming community rooted in prayer, hope and connection.
