8 Days
7 Nights
Day 1 | Our pilgrimage to Fátima begins as we depart from the United States on an overnight flight to Lisbon, Portugal.
Day 2 | Upon arrival into Lisbon, we’ll visit the birthplace of St. Anthony where our spiritual director will lead us in prayer. Following, we will briefly tour this beautiful port city before proceeding to Fátima. While en route to Fátima, we’ll visit Santarém, one of the oldest cities in the world, and the Church of St. Stephen with its famed Eucharistic miracle. Following dinner, we’ll participate in the evening candlelight procession.
Day 3 | Today, we’ll visit the shrine of Our Lady of Fátima and the Capelinha where our Blessed Mother appeared to the three children. Our spiritual director will celebrate Mass at the basilica. We’ll walk together the Way of the Cross, which takes us through Aljustrel, Valinhos, and the Loca do Cabeço. Again, following dinner, there will be an evening candlelight Rosary procession.
Day 4 | We’ll start the day with morning Mass at the Capelinha, followed by a visit to the Church of St. Anthony where the three children were baptized. Next, we’ll visit the walled city of Óbidos with its quaint medieval streets. Tonight, we again join in a candlelight Rosary procession after dinner.
Day 5 | Today we’ll visit Coimbra and the Carmelite convent where Sr. Lúcia lived for most of her adult life. While there, our spiritual director will celebrate Mass. Then we’ll venerate the relics of St. Elizabeth of Portugal. Following dinner, we’ll join in the candlelight Rosary procession.
Day 6 | After breakfast, we’ll celebrate morning Mass at the shrine with the remainder of the day being spent at leisure enjoying all that Fátima offers. Dinner and candlelight Rosary procession.
Day 7 | Our schedule today includes a visit to the Atlantic Coast, its beaches, and the markets of Nazaré. We’ll visit the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Nazaré, located high on a hilltop. The Sanctuary memorializes a miracle which occurred in 1182, when a horseman who was about to be carried off the hilltop to his death cried out to the Virgin Mary, through whose intercession he was spared. We will travel to the medieval town of Batalha including its mighty church and the Abbey of Alcobaça. Founded in 1152, the church and monastery are the earliest examples of Gothic architecture in Portugal. After our farewell dinner, we will end our last night in Fátima by joining in a final candlelight Rosary procession.
Day 8 | With a renewed sense of faith and an invigorated love of Our Lady of Fátima, we’ll depart for the return flight home.
