2012 Pilgrimage

A Pilgrimage to the Marian Shrines of Portugal, Spain, and France

with Archbishop Dennis M. Schnurr

September 14-24, 2012

“We hold the Blessed Mother in such great esteem because of her great faith and because she played a key role in our redemption. Authentic Marian devotion is not a diversion; rather, it leads us to Jesus. . . . I believe our faith lacks fullness if there is not an important place for the Blessed Mother in our prayer.”

~ Archbishop Dennis M. Schnurr

Join Archbishop Schnurr and fellow pilgrims on a once-in-a-lifetime pilgrimage to the great Marian shrines of Fatima and Lourdes, with visits to other sacred sites along the journey. From the Chapel of the Apparitions at Fatima to the Grotto of Massabielle at Lourdes, from the Shrine of Our Lady of Pilar in Zaragoza, Spain, to Paris’s soaring Cathedral of Notre Dame, we will allow Mary to lead us to a more profound love of her Son. We will walk the Way of the Cross at Fatima, visit the places where the great Carmelite saints Teresa of Avila and John of the Cross lived and taught the practice of deep prayer, and accompany pilgrims from
around the world on the Candlelight Procession at Lourdes. The expert services of George’s International Tours will ensure that we travel in comfort, with a professional tour manager and informed local guides, and have ample time for prayerful reflection.
