Life In The Convent At Nevers - A huge page telling the full story of Bernadette's life at the Convent at Nevers

The Sleeping Saint of Nevers - Since the Blessed Virgin Mary graced the grotto of Lourdes with Her presence in 1858, it has been one of the most popular of the worlds' Marian shrines. Many people have knelt at the famous rock and prayed to Saint Bernadette, who saw the Immaculate Virgin on eighteen occasions. And yet many people do not know that the body of Saint Bernadette lies incorrupt in the chapel of the convent of Saint-Gildard at Nevers, and that this convent is open to the public.
