Proposed Pilgrimage Itinerary *
Wednesday, June 10 - Arrival in Fatima
This morning, depart Dublin Airport, bound for Lisbon. On arrival, you will be met by your Marian Pilgrimages
guide and escorted to your private coach. The scenic drive north takes you through olive groves and sun-washed
hills before reaching the holy town of Fatima, where the Virgin Mary appeared to Lucia, Francisco, and Jacinta in
1917.
Check in at the Hotel Steyler, located steps from the Sanctuary. After lunch and a moment to settle in, begin your
pilgrimage with an orientation visit to the Sanctuary grounds. Visit the Capelinha of the Apparitions, where Our
Lady spoke her heavenly message. From there, continue to the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary, the resting
place of Saints Francisco and Jacinta, and then to the modern Basilica of the Holy Trinity.
After dinner, join pilgrims from across the globe for the first Candlelight Rosary Procession�a moving tradition
that unites hearts in prayer beneath the stars. Overnight in Fatima.
Thursday, June 11 - Aljustrel, Valinhos & the Angel of Peace
Begin your day with Mass at the Capelinha, one of the most sacred sites in Catholic pilgrimage. After breakfast,
take a peaceful walk along the Hungarian Way of the Cross, winding through olive trees toward Valinhos, the
site of the Virgin's August 19th apparition. Here, reflect at the Loca do Anjo, where the Angel of Peace appeared
to the children with messages of the Eucharist and reconciliation.
Continue to Aljustrel, the rural village where the three visionaries were born. Visit the original homes of Lucia,
Francisco, and Jacinta, and see the Well of Lucia's garden, where further supernatural events were reported.
Return to the hotel for lunch.
This afternoon is left open for prayer, rest, or personal reflection. You might choose to visit the Adoration Chapel,
sit quietly at the Grotto, or light a candle for your intentions. After dinner, join once again in the Candlelight
Rosary Procession, a powerful witness to the worldwide devotion to Our Lady. Overnight in Fatima.
Friday, June 12 - Eucharistic Miracle of Santar�m
This morning, after breakfast, travel by coach to Santar�m, one of Portugal's most historic cities and the site of a
remarkable Eucharistic Miracle. Visit the Church of St. Stephen, where in the 13th century, a consecrated Host
began to bleed and has been preserved for over 700 years. Here, celebrate Holy Mass and venerate the
miraculous Host�a profound testament to the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist.
Return to Fatima for lunch and enjoy a quiet afternoon at your own pace. This is a perfect time to return to the
Sanctuary, spend time in private prayer, or visit the shops nearby for religious keepsakes and rosaries to be
blessed.
Dinner will be served at the hotel, followed by the Candlelight Procession�your third evening to join the
worldwide Church in prayer and praise under Our Lady's loving gaze. Overnight in Fatima.
Saturday, June 13 - Final Day in Fatima
Your final full day in Fatima begins with morning Mass, followed by breakfast. Today offers time for personal
reflection and quiet moments in this sacred place. Perhaps you'll visit the Basilica once more, sit near the
Capelinha in silent prayer, or walk the Way of the Cross one final time.
Return to the hotel for lunch. The afternoon is left free for contemplation, journaling, or walking through the
peaceful gardens that surround the Sanctuary. After dinner, join your fellow pilgrims for the final Rosary and
