Join us on this 5-day pilgrimage to Fatima and Lisbon. Our guided tour of Lisbon will include a visit St Anthony’s church (the birthplace of St Anthony - The Patron of Lost Objects). We will also visit the beautiful Sanctuary of Our Lady of Fatima which was built in 1954 in reverence of witnessed apparitions of the Virgin Mary. The history of this Marian shrine begins in the spring of 1916 in Chousa Velha, Portugal, when an Angel of Peace appeared three times in an olive grove to three shepherd children: Lucia Santos and her two cousins, Jacinta and Francisco Marto. Although the apparition of this Angel was only known from 1937, by virtue of the second of four memoirs Lucia would go on to write, this was an early indication of the extraordinary. The following spring in 1917, one week before the Feast of the Ascension, the Virgin Mary appeared to Lucia and her two cousins on their family’s land: the Cova da Iria in Fatima. “It was a Lady (Lucia has written), clothed in white, and brighter than the sun, radiating a light more intense and clearer than a crystal cup would be, were it filled with sparkling water and lit with burning sunlight.” - The True Story of Fatima, Father John de Marchi, published 1956. On our last day, we will stop in Tomar and visit the famous former Catholic Convent here.
