Lourdes: A Sanctuary of Hope

The pilgrimage to Lourdes begins in the picturesque town nestled in the foothills of the Pyrenees. For over a century, Lourdes has been a beacon of hope for pilgrims from around the world, drawn by the miraculous healings attributed to the waters of the Lourdes spring.

Visit the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes, where you can follow in the footsteps of Saint Bernadette Soubirous, who witnessed the apparitions of the Virgin Mary. Bathe in the healing waters of the Lourdes spring, or join the thousands of pilgrims who participate in the daily processions and Masses.

Fatima: A Message of Peace

From Lourdes, your pilgrimage continues to Fatima, Portugal, where another series of Marian apparitions took place in the early 20th century. In 1917, three young shepherds witnessed the appearance of the Virgin Mary, who delivered a message of peace and reconciliation.

Visit the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Fatima, built on the site of the apparitions. Attend a Mass in the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary, or walk along the Via Sacra, a series of chapels depicting the Passion of Jesus Christ.
