Day 1 Birmingham to Lisbon � Arrival in Fatima

Depart Birmingham this morning on your flight to Lisbon. On arrival, meet your Marian Pilgrimages guide and travel by private coach to Fatima. Upon arrival at the Hotel Steyler, check in and relax. In the afternoon, begin your pilgrimage with an orientation tour of the Sanctuary, visiting the Chapel of the Apparitions, the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary where Saints Francisco and Jacinta rest, and the Basilica of the Holy Trinity. After dinner at the hotel, join pilgrims from all nations for the evening Candlelight Rosary Procession in the Sanctuary. Day 2 The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Fatima

After breakfast, we begin our pilgrimage with morning Mass at the Capelinha�the Chapel of the Apparitions� where Our Lady appeared to the three shepherd children in 1917. Following Mass, we take a guided orientation tour of the Sanctuary grounds. We�ll visit the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary where the tombs of Saints Francisco and Jacinta, and Sister Lucia, rest in quiet repose. Nearby, we�ll see the great Basilica of the Holy Trinity, the Monument to the Sacred Heart, the Berlin Wall remnant, and the Chapel of Adoration. In the afternoon, we visit the Museum of Light and Peace, which houses precious artifacts including relics from the shepherd children and gifts offered to Our Lady by pilgrims from around the world. There will be some time for quiet prayer or to enjoy a coffee in the nearby cafes before we gather again for dinner. This evening, we join pilgrims from across the world in the Rosary and Candlelight Procession, a highlight of the Fatima experience and a moving expression of faith and unity. Day 3 Valinhos, Aljustrel and the Angel�s Grotto

This morning, we retrace the steps of the shepherd children along the Hungarian Way of the Cross. Winding through olive groves and oak trees, we reach Valinhos, the site of the August 19th apparition of Our Lady. Our path continues to the Loca do Anjo, the sacred spot where the Angel of Peace appeared to the children before the apparitions of the Virgin Mary began. These places remain almost untouched by time and are steeped in a deep spiritual atmosphere. We then continue on foot to Aljustrel, the simple village where the three children lived. Here we�ll visit the family homes of Saints Francisco and Jacinta and of Sister Lucia. We pause at the well in Lucia�s garden, where the children also experienced a vision. After returning to the hotel for lunch, the remainder of the afternoon is free. Pilgrims may wish to visit the Sanctuary again for personal prayer, shop for religious items, or spend quiet time in one of the chapels. Dinner is served in the hotel before we gather once more for the evening Candlelight Procession. Day 4 Santarem and the Eucharistic Miracle

After breakfast, we meet in the Sanctuary where we will have a private group Mass in one of the chapels. Following Mass, there will be a short period for personal prayer and reflection before our early lunch. In the afternoon, we journey to Santarem, one of the oldest cities in Portugal and the site of a Eucharistic Miracle dating back over 700 years. In the Church of St. Stephen, we will venerate the Sacred Host that has been preserved to this day, a powerful testimony to the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. This visit is a deeply moving moment in our pilgrimage, linking us not only to Fatima but to the profound mysteries of our Catholic faith. On our return to Fatima, we enjoy a final group dinner. Those who wish may return to the Sanctuary one last time for the evening Rosary procession, taking these last quiet hours to entrust final intentions to Our Lady. Day 5 Return Flight to Birmingham

After a final breakfast together, we check out of our hotel. Our coach will take us from Fatima Lisbon Airport. As we return home, we carry in our hearts the peace of Fatima, the prayers shared, and the graces received. This pilgrimage leaves us with not only cherished memories but a deeper connection to Our Lady and a renewed sense of purpose in our faith journey.
