Proposed Pilgrimage Itinerary *

Tuesday, September 15th - Dublin to Lisbon - Onward to Fatima

Your pilgrimage begins as the group gathers at Dublin Airport for your flight to Lisbon. Upon arrival, meet your Marian Pilgrimages guide and board your private coach northward to Fatima. After checking into your hotel, there will be time to settle in and enjoy dinner with your fellow pilgrims. This evening, you are invited to the Sanctuary for the Candlelight Rosary Procession, an unforgettable sight as pilgrims from around the world walk together in silent prayer under the stars.

Wednesday, September 16th - Sanctuary of Fatima

Begin your day with Holy Mass in the Capelinha, the humble Chapel of the Apparitions, built on the very site where Our Lady appeared in 1917. Afterwards, your guide will lead you through an orientation tour of the Sanctuary area. Visit the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary, where Saints Francisco and Jacinta Marto rest beside Sister Lucia, and walk across to the striking modern Basilica of the Holy Trinity, completed in 2007 to accommodate pilgrims from around the world. You'll also see the Monument to the Sacred Heart, the Old Holm Oak, and a remaining section of the Berlin Wall�symbols of peace, prayer, and perseverance. The afternoon is free for lunch at one of the caf�s surrounding the Sanctuary and for personal prayer or reflection. Dinner is served at your hotel, followed by an optional return to the Sanctuary for the evening Rosary and Procession.

Thursday, September 17th - The Shepherds' Story: Valinhos & Aljustrel

After breakfast, join the Hungarian Way of the Cross, a beautiful path lined with Stations set among olive and oak trees, leading to Valinhos, the site of Our Lady's appearance in August 1917. Nearby is Loca do Anjo, where the Angel of Peace appeared to the children in 1916, preparing them for the apparitions that would follow. Continue to the tiny hamlet of Aljustrel, where the shepherd children lived. Visit their preserved family homes and the garden well where one of the apparitions took place. These humble settings give deep insight into the simplicity and sanctity of their lives. Enjoy your afternoon at leisure in Fatima. Some may choose to revisit the Sanctuary, take time in the Chapel of Adoration, or browse religious shops near the square. Dinner is served at the hotel, and as night falls, we once again gather at the Sanctuary for the Candlelight Rosary Procession.

Friday, September 18th - Day of Reflection in Fatima

Our final full day is spent entirely in Fatima, allowing space to reflect on the journey so far. We begin with Mass in one of the chapels of the Sanctuary, followed by time at leisure. This is an ideal opportunity to revisit the Grotto, light a candle, go to confession, or spend time in quiet conversation with Our Lady. In the evening, we gather one last time for the Candlelight Procession, joining pilgrims from across the world in prayerful unity beneath the night sky. Dinner and overnight in Fatima.

Saturday, September 19th - Eucharistic Miracle of Santarem

After breakfast and check-out, board your coach for the return transfer to Lisbon Airport for your return flight home. On the way we will visit the historic town of Santarem, one of Portugal's most sacred places, and visit the Church of the Holy Miracle, site of the 1247 Eucharistic Miracle. Venerate the relic, still preserved in the church's tabernacle, and take time for personal prayer.

After time for prayer at the relic, we continue to Lisbon Airport for our return flight to Dublin, carrying with us the peace, grace, and blessings of Fatima.
