Pilgrims are the most important part of Catholic shrines, Pope Francis says

Attendants prepare to carry a statue of Mary in procession at the Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes in southwestern France May 16, 2014. In Nov. 29 remarks, Pope Francis encouraged rectors and workers at shrines to make guests feel "at home."
