Join Fr. Stehlin and The Fatima Center for an ultimate Marian Pilgrimage this Easter season!
This 12 day pilgrimage will start in Paris with a visit to the Chapel of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal to visit the location where our Lady appeared in 1830. After seeing other significant sights in Paris, we will then travel nonstop to Lourdes, France via the TVG train (short for the French “Train à Grande Vitesse”, meaning high-speed train). While in Lourdes, we will visit the Grotto of Masabielle where the Holy Mother of God appeared 18 times to Bernadette Soubirous in 1858. From there we will travel by bus to Portugal, stopping in Spain to visit Loyola (the birthplace of St. Ignatius de Loyola who is the founder of the Society of Jesus) and Salamanca (where St Teresa of Avila died in 1582 and her tomb is located under the choir of the church of the Convent of the Discalced Carmelites that she herself founded in Salamanca). Once in Portugal, we will visit many religious sites, with a focus on Our Lady of Fatima. We will visit Valinhos, Adjustrel where we will pray at the apparition sites of the Angel, houses of the seers and make the Stations of the Cross. We will visit Cova da Iria and pray at the tomb of the 3 seers and see the parish were the seers were baptized. We will also visit Batalha (Dominican Monastery of Saint Mary of the Victory) and Alcobaça (Monastery of Santa Maria) and Nazare at the Sea. We will visit the site of the Eucharistic Miracle in Santarem and finally head to Lisbon to visit the hospital where St Jacinta died.
We will be in Fatima on the 10th death anniversary of our founder, Father Nicholas Gruner and will have a special dinner with some testimonials and a video presentation. It will be a very special memorial to the Fatima Priest who spent his priestly life promoting the full message of Fatima.
We hope you will join us on this special pilgrimage.
