About Saint Bernadette
From February 11 to July 16, 1858, Saint Bernadette Soubirous met the Blessed Virgin Mary eighteen times at the grotto in Lourdes, France. Our Lady of Lourdes asked the young girl to drink from a fountain in the grotto. Since there was no visible water, she dug a hole in the dirt from which a spring began to flow.
The Sanctuary of Lourdes
The water from this spring still flows today. The sanctuary of Lourdes is one of the most-visited Catholic shrines in the world, with four to six million pilgrims annually. To date, there are countless healings, with seventy recognized as miraculous with no scientific explanation.
History of the 9-Bead Chaplet Design
According to The Raccolta (A Manual of Indulgences), the 9-bead chaplet is from at least the late 18th Century. They have 3 groups of 3 beads with a saint medal or Crucifix in a closed loop or stretched out in a strand. At first, convents and monasteries made rosaries and these chaplets. Over the centuries, they have become more readily available.
The Prayers
On the medal or Crucifix, we ask for the intercession of a particular saint. Then, we pray one Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be on each group of beads. There is a partial indulgence when we say the sets of prayers this way.

Packaging
Each chaplet comes with a sturdy prayer card. It includes the full text of the prayers and explains which prayers to say on which beads.
Suggestion
It is a good idea to store your chaplets and prayer cards together. Since chaplets have unique bead groupings and prayers, the prayer card and chaplet need to stay together so that you can continue to use them.
