Day 1 Sunday, September 3
Check-in at Boston airport for overnight Aer Lingus flight to Lisbon via Dublin.
Day 2 Monday, September 4
Upon our arrival in Lisbon we will be met by our guide transferred by coach to
Fatima where we will check into the 4 Hotel Styler in Fatima. Lunch on arrival
before settling into your room. After check-in you will have some free time to
relax and maybe take a nap before dinner. After dinner in the hotel we will visit
the grotto and take part in the evenings prayers.
Day 3 Tuesday, September 5
The coach will pick us up at the hotel directly after breakfast for our morning
trip to Valinhos and Aljustrel. Our first stop will be Valinhos where Our Lady
appeared on the 19th August in 1917. Our Lady appeared to the children here as
they had been taken in for questioning by the authorities on the 13th and were
not at the Cova DIria. After praying at this very special place we will walk to the
Cabeco where the angel appeared to them the first and third of the three times
he appeared in 1916. We then proceed to Aljustrel, the village where the three
little shepherds were born. We visit their homes and the well at the bottom of
Lucias garden where the angel appeared the second time. Our last stop before
we return to the hotel will be the Fatima parish church. There we will see the
baptismal font where all three were baptised. Return to the hotel for lunch. In
the afternoon attend holy Mass in the Capelinha (apparition site) after which
there will be an introductory tour of the sanctuary and see the Capelinha, the
Rosary Basilica and tombs of the Seers, Statue of the Sacred Heart and water
fountain, candle area, Berlin Wall, Chapel of Adoration, Reconciliation Chapel
and Basilica of the Holy Trinity. We return to our hotel for dinner followed by
the Rosary and Candlelight procession.
Day 4 Wednesday, September 6
This morning there will be an optional half day excursion to the city of Santarem
where we will visit the church of St. Stephen also known as the church of the
Eucharistic Miracle. There we will celebrate holy Mass and venerate the sacred
host that miraculously bled in the year 1247, as the result of being treated with
disrespect. Afterwards there may be a little time for leisure before returning to
Fatima for lunch. In the afternoon spend some free time visiting the tombs of
the shepherds or spend a while in the museum of light and peace where we can
see the bullet in the Crown of Our Lady, the Irish Monstrance. After dinner
there will be rosary at the Capelinha followed by the Candlelight Procession.
Day 5 Thursday, September 7
Today will be a free day in Fatima. Take some time for prayer and reflection.
Day 6 Friday, September 8
After breakfast we will meet in the sanctuary where we will have holy Mass in a
private chapel for our group. Take some free time to shop or spend some time
in private prayer. After an early lunch there will be an trip to the seaside town of
Nazare. Here we will first stop at Sitio on the cliffs and visit the church of Our
Lady of Nazare. We can see the ancient statue of Our Lady which dates back to
the early days of Christianity that legend tells us may have been carved by St.
Joseph. Afterwards we will drive down to the promenade where there will be
some time to browse in the shops or sit and have coffee or some fresh sardines
for which Nazare is famous. Return to the hotel in Fatima in time for dinner and
then attend the Rosary and Candlelight procession.
Day 7 Saturday, September 9
This morning after breakfast we will depart the hotel on foot to walk the
Hungarian Way of the Cross (a gift from the Hungarian People). As we walk
through the olive groves on the path that Francisco, Jacinta and Lucia would
have taken many times on their way to the Cova DIria, we pray the stations
of the cross. We finish at the beautiful little chapel of St. Stephen where we can
spend a short while in prayer and climb the steps to the calvary on the roof of
the chapel from where there is a beautiful view taking in Aljustrel, Fatima parish
church and the Rosary Basilica. Return to the hotel for lunch. The afternoon will
be free to stroll through the town or visit some of the museums and exhibitions
or return to the village of Aljustrel by tourist train to enjoy its peaceful ambience.
Enjoy a final dinner in the hotel before the rosary and candlelight procession in
the Sanctuary.
