Lourdes Masses in Adelaide and Melbourne – Saturday 14 February 2026

15/01/2026 


The Order of Malta Lourdes Masses are annual celebrations held in Australia’s state capital cities, offered in the spirit of the Order’s international Lourdes pilgrimages.
 
These Masses are celebrated for the intentions of the sick, elderly, and infirm — especially for those unable to travel to Lourdes themselves. Attendees receive a blessing for good health and are gifted a bottle of water from the Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes in France.
On Saturday 14 February, Lourdes Masses are being held in Adelaide and Melbourne:
 
📍 Adelaide – 10:00am, St Francis Xavier’s Cathedral
📍 Melbourne – 10:30am, St Patrick’s Cathedral
 
All are welcome to these special celebrations. Please join us.
