Present in over 30 countries across five continents, the TMI are dedicated to evangelisation, hospitality and service to the most vulnerable. Present in Lourdes since 2007, the TMI sisters took over this guesthouse to make it a place of Christian hospitality, faithful to the spirit of Bernadette: welcoming each person as Christ himself.
