Proposed Pilgrimage Itinerary *

Day 1 - Arrive in Fatima

This morning we depart Dublin Airport for our flight to Lisbon. Upon arrival, we are met by our Marian Pilgrimages guide, who will accompany us to Fatima. After a light snack on arrival, we check in to our hotel and settle into the peaceful rhythm of this sacred place. Overnight in Fatima. We begin our pilgrimage with a guided tour of the Sanctuary of Fatima, visiting the Chapel of the Apparitions, the very heart of the Shrine; the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary, where the tombs of Saints Francisco and Jacinta, along with Sister Lucia, rest; and the modern Basilica of the Most Holy Trinity. After lunch, we gather to celebrate our opening Mass at the Chapel of the Apparitions. The afternoon is at leisure for private prayer. After dinner, we join pilgrims from across the world for the Rosary and Candlelight Procession.

Day 2 - Valinhos & Aljustrel

Following morning Mass, we walk the Hungarian Way of the Cross, tracing the path once taken by the shepherd children between Aljustrel and Cova da Iria. We visit Valinhos, site of the 4th apparition of Our Lady on 19th August 1917, and then to Loca do Cabe�o, where the Angel of Peace appeared to the children. In Aljustrel, we visit the preserved homes of the seers, and then continue to the Parish Church of Fatima, where they were baptised. After returning to the hotel, the afternoon is free for rest or reflection. This evening we once again gather for Rosary and the Candlelight Procession at the Sanctuary.

Day 3 - Optional Excursion to Nazar�

After morning Mass, we enjoy a leisurely excursion to the coastal town of Nazar�. First, we visit the hilltop Church of Our Lady of Nazar�, home to a miraculous statue said to have been carved by St. Joseph. After time for prayer and reflection, we descend to the seaside promenade where there is time to enjoy a coffee or browse local shops. Those who wish can try grilled sardines, for which Nazar� is famous. We return to Fatima in time for dinner and the evening Rosary and procession. This is an Optional trip and will be charged locally. Day 4 - International Mass & Museum Visit This morning, we attend the International Mass at the Sanctuary, celebrated by bishops and clergy from around the world. In the afternoon, we visit the Fatima Museum, where sacred items connected to the apparitions are displayed, including the crown of Our Lady of Fatima, into which is set the bullet that struck Pope St. John Paul II during the 1981 assassination attempt. The remainder of the day is free for personal prayer. Dinner and overnight in Fatima.

Day 5 - 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.
