Every year, on the first Sunday of September, a procession for the Virgin Mary carried by four women (previously only by young girls) leaves from the chapel of Notre Dame de Lourdes to the church. In the past, on Saturday evenings, the Virgin was carried by eight young girls (the old virgin in plaster weighed 110 kilos) from the chapel, through the rue Léon Delhache to the church a torchlight procession, on Sunday at 3 p.m. the procession preceded by the fanfare of Other-Church, schoolchildren dressed as pages or angels, bearers of banners, the priest with a monstrance representing a host dedicated to the adoration of the faithful, the Virgin was returned through the school, the chapel at the crossroads, then towards la Bruyère and back via rue Joseph Rowart and rue de Fagneton. The blessing and veneration of the relics took place in the chapel.

The Virgin Mary depicted and venerated here is that of Lourdes. This well-known Marian pilgrimage site is located in the French Pyrenees and is visited by a large number of people every year, including many sick people hoping for healing. The devotional image of the Mother of God has spread widely, not only in France, and believers have built Lourdes chapels and grottos everywhere.
The ecclesiastical memorial day "Our Lady of Lourdes" is on February 11th, this is the anniversary of the apparition of Mary (1858), when the Mother of God appeared to the 14-year-old Bernadette Soubirous in a rock grotto not far from Lourdes. Bernadette later became a nun and died at the age of only 35. On December 8 (the feast of the Immaculate Conception of Mary) 1933, she was canonized by Pope Pius XI.
The commemoration of the Lourdes Madonna is also World Day of the Sick.
