One of the most important religious pilgrimage sites in Europe, Fátima became famous in 1917 when three small children claimed to have seen a vision of the Virgin Mary there.
We start our day doing all your religious and souvenir shopping in a quick stop at Fatima’s shopping center so that you can have your objects blessed at mass in the Sanctuary.
We will continue our drive to Aljustrel in order to visit the Little Sheppards’ Houses and places of the Angel’s 2nd Apparition

We will also visit Valinhos, where the Virgin appeared and Loca do Anjo – place of the Angel’s Apparitions. This is one of Fátima most sacred and peaceful places. If the weather and timing is good we will still walk up to the Plith of the Hunagrians doing some of the Stations of the Cross.
By now we will have to check how our pilgrims are! Most likely and after all the walking, we will be heading for a very deserved lunch! Our restaurant selections always include cozy traditional local restaurants.
Duration: 3 hours
Stop At: Basilica de Nossa Senhora do Rosario de Fatima, Rua de Rainha Santa Isabel 26, Fatima 2495-424 Portugal

During weekdays from May to November, our pilgrims may attend the English Mass at the Chapel of Apparitions (alternative Masses and Locations will be available on the other dates/days but unlikely to be in English) at 3.30 PM.The Chapel of Apparitions and the Basilica of the Holy Trinity are different places of worship within in the Sanctuary and allow visitors to tour as well.
We will also visit the Museums in the area (expect on Mondays) .
During our time at the Sanctuary, we will also be visiting the tombs of Sister Lucia; Saint Francisco and Saint Jacinta – as his holiness Saint Joh Paul II stated, the two Candles God offered to Humanity.
You’ll now have some free time on your own for prayers and adoration. Until 2020 we are suggesting the Itinerary of the Pilgrim, a suggestion for the Pastoral years 2018-2020.
