Abbé Dominique Peyramale (9 January 1811 – 8 September 1877) was a Catholic priest in the town of Lourdes in France during the apparitions of Our Lady of Lourdes to the peasant girl Bernadette Soubirous in 1858.
According to Bernadette, her visions occurred at the grotto of Massabielle, just outside Lourdes.
Peyramale, under instructions from his bishop, Monsignor Laurence, never visited the grotto during any of the apparitions.
He therefore never saw first-hand the effects that these apparitions produced in Bernadette and the onlookers.
Nevertheless, he was deeply involved in the events, interviewing Bernadette on a number of occasions.
Initially convinced he was dealing with a childish prank or hoax, Peyramale was eventually convinced that Bernadette's experiences were genuine.
