About this trip
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
It is my pleasure to invite you to join us on a beautiful pilgrimage to Portugal, Spain & France. Rather than a trip or vacation, it is truly a Pilgrimage, where we will be able to visit the sacred grounds where many saints and martyrs walked before us.
The following are some of the places we will visit during our journey to Lisbon:
• Barcelona; the basilica of The Sagrada Familia.
• The Benedictine Monastery of Montserrat.
• The St. Ignacio monastery.
• In our way to Fatima, we will stop to visit Cuidad Rodrigo; a walled city.
• We will visit the shrine of Fatima-the site where Francesco, Jacinta and Lucia saw visions of the Virgin.
• We will stop to visit the Relic of the Eucharistic Miracle of Santarem.
• Finally, we will continue to Lisbon, where the World Youth events will take place.
A religious pilgrimage is a grace-filled opportunity to join together in prayer, both in gratitude for many blessings received, as well as in petition for the continuing spiritual growth for ourselves and in holiness of our Church.
We hope you will consider this most special gift to yourself and join us as we embark on a pilgrimage that promises to offer not only a journey of faith, but also time for prayer, meditation and enjoyment. As space is limited, reservations should be made as soon as possible.
Sincerely in Christ,
Fr. .Juan Rogelio Gutierrez
