Lourdes is the site of a Marian apparition
in 1858 and although a relatively recent
development, it is the most visited
pilgrimage shrine in the Christian world.
GROTTO DOMAIN: The Blessing of
the Sick, the Blessed Sacrament
Procession and the Torchlight
procession take place each day. The
Basilica of the Rosary, the Crypt and
the Basilica of the Immaculate
Conception dominate the Square.
Located beside the Basilicas is the
Grotto where Our Lady appeared to
Bernadette eighteen times. Nearby are
the baths that contain the Holy Water
of Lourdes. Near the Grotto is the
Chapel of Reconciliation and the Way
of the Cross.
Some places to visit while in Lourdes
include:
MARIAN SHRINE: Where Our Lady
appeared to Bernadette Soubirous 18
times during 1858.
BOLY MILL: Named after its owner
during the 17th Century, an English
Doctor. It was here, on the 7th January
1844 that Bernadette Soubirous was
born – the eldest child of a miller.
CACHOT: After losing the mill, the
near destitute Soubirous family moved
to an old deserted jail for shelter. On
Friday February 11th 1858, Bernadette
set off to gather firewood at
Massabielle, but this expedition was no
ordinary one, as Bernadette
experienced her first apparition.
THE CASTLE: Overlooking the town is
Le Chateau Fort, which dates back to
Roman times. It has withstood many
sieges throughout the years and is now
a Pyrenean museum.

ROME & ITALY
Italian Tours for 2014
Italy has drawn people in search of culture, religion
and romance for many centuries. Few countries
can compete with it’s classical origins, its art,
architecture, musical and literary traditions, its
scenery or food and wine. Rome, Assisi and
San Giovanni are not only geographical
entities but also historical, religious, artistic
and literary realities and indeed places of
myth and fantasy are ever present in the
unfolding of European civilisation. Their
centuries old histories have left them
deeply marked by many
periods and many cultures
and their appearances are
sometimes still

NAZARE AND SANTAREM
Nazaré
Santarem
Nazare, with its long Atlantic beach, is one of the most
popular seaside resorts near Fatima, and we intend offering
this tour most weeks throughout the 2014 season.
Santarem, about 35 miles south of Fatima was the scene of
one of the most famous Eucharistic Miracles, which
occurred in 1247.
The Church of the Miracle has a small museum relating to
the history of the Miracle in a room behind the Main Altar.
Pilgrims who visit the museum may climb a ladder and look
in through the back of the special Tabernacle for a close-up
view of the miraculous Host that bled over 750 years ago.
This year, we are incorporating our visit to Santarem in our
day trip to Lisbon. Half day trips may however be organised
upon the request of a group leader.
Nazaré is about 45 km from Fatima and en route we will
stop at either the Monastery of Batalha or the Monastery
of Alcobaca. In Nazaré we will visit Sitio, above the town to
see the Shrine of Our Lady of Nazaré and memorial
chapel which marks the spot where Our Lady appeared
in 1182. We will also have free time in Nazaré to go to the
beach, or for shopping.
Prices Include
• Return Flights to Lisbon.
• Coach Transfers Lisbon/Fatima/Lisbon.
• Full-board accommodation in Fatima (Sharing).
