Journey Overview
Every year hundreds of thousands of devoted Catholics make their way to Fatima to worship and offer penance to the Virgin Mary. This is one of the holiest sites for Roman Catholics, as in 1917, three young shepherd children reported being visited by Mary. The pilgrims who come to this site are in Spiritual darkness and need to understand the hope and freedom that comes through Jesus.
Due to a fluid COVID situation, please understand if there are some unexpected changes to the outreach plan (including how the interactions with pilgrims are held). Price excludes flights, insurance & any possible vaccinations and is subject to change according to the exchange rate.
