La Hospitalidad Valenciana reza por el Papa en la gruta de Lourdes en los jardines vaticanos

Thirty-four volunteers and sick members of the Valencian Hospitality of Lourdes gathered at the Lourdes grotto in the Vatican Gardens to pray for Pope Leo XIV. Juan Antonio Navarro, the group's counselor, said the group was granted exceptional permission to pray at the grotto during the time the Pope was scheduled to enter the hospital.

The pilgrimage serves to begin the centenary celebrations for the Valencian Hospitality of Lourdes, which was officially founded in May 1927. The group recently accompanied Pope Leo XIV to the Sanctuary of Lourdes in France on September 27, where they joined 150,000 people for Mass, the Rosary, and the torchlight procession.

On October 9, the Valencian Hospitality received the Order of Jaume I the Conqueror, a civil distinction awarded by the Generalitat Valenciana.
