Fr. Joey Faller
October 10, 2023
Portugal, Spain, France, Italy
Fr. Joey Faller is a healing priest. Many cancer patients, paraplegics, and people with all sorts of ailments would line up to receive healing from God through him. Fr. Joey’s gift of healing came after a near-death car collision experience he had back in 1994. The accident damaged the nerves of his fingers on his right side, resembling the hands of the Sto. Niño and the hands of the risen and victorious Christ. “It was God’s way to reveal to me that I couldn’t possibly be the one doing all the healing. It is God who heals. I am simply God’s instrument of His healing power,” said Fr. Joey Faller.
Join a Healing pilgrimage to the Marian shrines of Portugal, Spain, France, and Italy with Fr. Joey Faller on October 10-24, 2023. Visit and stay in the places where Our Blessed Mother is loved and honored as the Mother of God.
Your pilgrimage begins with a Mass at the Church of St. Anthony in Lisbon, Portugal. The Church of St. Anthony was built on the site where St. Anthony of Lisbon (also known as St. Anthony of Padua) was born in 1195. Travel onward to Fatima, where you will spend two nights at the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Fatima. The fame of this place is the result of the apparitions of Our Lady of the Rosary to three shepherd children: Lucia, Francisco, and Jacinta.
Proceed to Salamanca, an ancient university town in Spain, for lunch and a photo stop at the Plaza Mayor. Still in Spain, head for Burgos to celebrate Mass at the Cathedral of Saint Mary of Burgos, also known as Burgos Cathedral, which is highly acclaimed for its Gothic style of architecture.
Leave Spain for France to spend two nights at the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes, an apparition site of the Blessed Virgin Mary in 1858. Here, 18 apparitions were reported. Pray the rosary and spend time in quiet reflection at the Grotto of Massabielle, the Blessed Mother’s apparition site. Not to be missed is the evening rosary procession, where “Ave Maria” is sung in unison and the rosary is recited in different languages.
Enjoy a leisurely drive along the Mediterranean coastline of the French Riviera, where you will have an overnight stay in the elegant city of Nice. Marvel at the delightful hills of the Perugia countryside as you proceed to the enchanting and postcard perfect town of Assisi, hometown of St. Francis and St. Clare. Assisi isn’t just home to UNESCO World Heritage Sites, it is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The entire town basks in this coveted status because of its plethora of art and historically significant buildings, like the Basilica of San Francesco (where St. Francis is buried) and the Basilica of Santa Chiara (to see the tomb of St. Clare).
Visit the Basilica of the Holy House in Loreto, a shrine believed to be the home where Mary was raised and where the Annunciation took place within its walls. Continue your journey to Lanciano and stop by the Church of St. Legontian, where a Eucharistic Miracle occurred in the eighth century. Proceed to San Giovanni Rotondo, where Padre Pio spent most of his life. Visit the Basilica of Our Lady of Grace (Santa Maria delle Grazie) where Padre Pio used to say Mass and hear confessions. See also his cell, his confessional, and the crucifix from which he received his stigmata.
Wind down your pilgrimage with a two-night stay in Rome, Italy. Celebrate mass at the Basilica of St. Paul outside the Walls, built over the burial place of St. Paul the Apostle. Pass an eye over the unique collection of artistic and architectural masterpieces at the Vatican on your visit to the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel. Visit the awe inspiring St. Peter’s Basilica, built over the tomb of St. Peter the Apostle.
Reaffirm and celebrate your faith as you visit some of the world’s most treasured Marian shrines, pilgrimage sites, and spiritual places. Join a healing pilgrimage to the Marian shrines of Portugal, Spain, France, and Italy with Fr. Joey Faller, leaving on October 10-24, 2023.
