Sample Day-by-Day Itinerary:


Day 1 | April 8, 2012:  Depart USA - France
Depart from New York, JFK or from your hometown for the overnight flights to France. Dinner and breakfast will be served on board.

 

Day 2 | April 9, 2012:  Arrive Lourdes
Upon arrival in Pau Airport, retrieve your luggage and exit the baggage claim into the arrivals hall where you will be greeted by a tour guide/driver. You will be escorted to the vehicle, which will then take you on your scenic drive to Lourdes. Upon arrival, check in to your hotel and relax or explore before dinner. Following dinner you may choose to participate in the candlelight procession before retiring for the evening.

 

Days 3 & 4 | April 10 & 11, 2012:  Lourdes
During the next two days in Lourdes you will have time to pray with your fellow pilgrims from around the world. During your trip you will have an opportunity to: Attend Mass at the Grotto, watch a video presentation telling the story of Lourdes, and walk in the footsteps of St. Bernadette. See Boly Mill where St. Bernadette was born, and the "Cachot," an abandoned prison where Bernadette's impoverished family lived. Join your prayers with those of pilgrims from around the world as you pray for the sick, drink water from the miraculous spring or submerge yourself in the healing baths. Experience Christ's love as you walk the life-sized Stations of the Cross overlooking the holy Grotto. Kneel in the chapel built on the very rock of the Grotto, in obedience to the request of the "Immaculate Conception." Evenings are free for optional Blessed Sacrament Procession before dinner. Your role in the universal church will have new meaning as you join the candlelight procession and group rosary.

 

Day 5 | April 12, 2012:  Lourdes - Loyola - Garabandal
After breakfast, depart Lourdes and motor through the spectacular Pyrenees Mountains for Loyola, the birthplace of St. Ignatius, founder of the Jesuits. Here, we will see the 17th-century Basilica dedicated to St. Ignatius and also visit his family home behind the sanctuary. We will have time to pray at the most venerated room where Ignatius, at age 30, was brought following his serious wounding at the Battle of Pamplona.  We then continue on to Garabandal. As we motor through the scenic countryside of Cantabria, Spain enjoy the lush green mountains before we arrive to the hamlet of Garabandal.  Dinner and accommodation for the next two evenings will be at one of the modest hotels in Garabandal. This sparsely populated village consists of only about 90 humble dwellings.

 

Day 6 | April 13, 2012:  Garabandal
You will have a day of recollection in the quiet town of Garabandal where the group will have opportunities for prayer and meditation. Dinner and overnight.

Days 9 & 10 | April 16 & 17, 2012:  Fatima
Six times from May 13 to October 13, 1917, the Virgin Mary appeared to three novices belonging to the diocese of Leiria.  A new church is under construction, however just as beautiful, an older church was constructed here in 1928, and millions of pilgrims visit each year. Fatima is  one of the most visited holy places for Catholics from around the world. The atmosphere of intense spirituality and the importance of Fatima have been attested to by the visits of two Popes: Paul VI and John Paul II.  Touring Fatima, see the  Little Chapel of the Apparitions, Basilica, the site of Francesco and Jacinta's graves, the Hamlet of Aljustrel, where the children lived, and Valinhos, the site of Our Lady's appearance after the children's return from prison. Follow the Stations of the Cross along the Via Sacra (The Sacred Way) culminating in the Chapel of Calvary, which overlooks all of Fatima.
