Every day Holy Mass is celebrated either for group only or joined with other groups which is case when Mass is said at the Grotto of Maissabelle, where Our Lady introduced herself to Bernadette "I am Immaculate Conception". "Go and drink in the spring and wash there" and Bernadette listened, ever since millions of pilgrims have drunk the miraculous water from there. Baths built 1955 are there so people can submerge themselves into this healing water and every pilgrim visiting Lourdes takes chance to do so. Holy Masses in Immaculate Conception Basilica, in Rosary Basilica in the Crypt, or at the Grotto together with the Way of the Cross on the Hill by the Upper basilica that group can do and confessions at the Chapel of Reconciliation all this will be arranged in advance for the group that comes on pilgrimage to Lourdes.
