This Pilgrimage is already fully booked. You’re invited to check our other upcoming Pilgrimages.
Holy Week and Easter are the culmination of the Church’s liturgical year, when we celebrate the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus. Make your Holy Week more meaningful in 2018. Join A Blessed Holy Week in the Shrines of Lourdes and Fatima Pilgrimage in commemoration of the 160th Anniversary of the Apparition of Our Lady of Lourdes leaving on March 27, 2018.
Your pilgrimage begins in Lourdes, France, the most famous healing shrine in the world, and one of the most visited of all pilgrimage sites. Celebrate the 160th anniversary of the Lourdes apparitions where St. Bernadette reported the first of 18 visions of Our Lady on February 11, 1858. Offer your prayer petitions at the Grotto of Massabielle, the famous apparition site, where Our Lady revealed herself as the Immaculate Conception. During her 9th apparition, St. Bernadette was directed to a spring that exists until today. Miraculous cures have been associated with Lourdes ever since and today the town welcomes more than five million pilgrims to its healing waters every year.
Leave France for Spain, where you will spend overnight in Valladolid, a city steeped with an array of stunning palaces and churches from the middle ages to the 1700s. Celebrate Mass at the Valladolid Cathedral or the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Holy Assumption, an awe-inspiring church built in 1527.
Onwards to Fatima in Portugal, where you will spend two nights at the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Fatima, one of the most beloved Marian shrines in the world. The fame of this place is the result of the apparitions of Our Lady to three shepherd children – Lucia, and her cousins Francisco and Jacinta – between May and October 1917. Not to be missed is the candlelight, rosary procession, a special walk you will share with thousands of pilgrims from around the world. Then cap off your pilgrimage with a Mass at the Church of St. Anthony de Padua in Lisbon, Portugal, built on the site where the saint was born.
Immerse yourself in the spiritual grace of Lourdes and Fatima. Join a Blessed Holy Week in the Shrines of Lourdes and Fatima Marian Pilgrimage with a Pilgrimage Chaplain leaving on March 27, 2018.
