Led by: Thomas Kurt, Music Director and Fr. Mike O’ Brien, a retired priest in Residence at St. Jerome
12-Day Pilgrimage to Portugal, Spain, and France | September 4–15, 2023
Dear Friends,
I invite you to join us on a pilgrimage to honor Our Lady! We’ll begin in Fátima, the site of one of the most famous apparitions of the Blessed Mother. On May 13, 1917, three young peasant children (Lucia, Jacinta and Francisco), all now Saints, received an apparition of the Blessed Mother. Today, Fátima is visited by pilgrims from around the world who search for and find the messages of peace left by Mary for the world.
We’ll continue to Santiago de Compostela, the destination of the medieval pilgrimage route, “The Way of St. James.” The famous cathedral, with its swinging “Botafumeiro,” is a sight to
behold. Our journey will continue to Lourdes, a highlight of the pilgrimage, where we’ll walk in the footsteps of St. Bernadette. We’ll celebrate Mass at this beautiful Marian Shrine, sure
to be a life-changing experience for all who partake.
OAs we continue back across the border to Spain, we’ll stop at Montserrat Mountain. Here, we’ll pray before Our Lady of Montserrat. After spending a night praying before this image of Our Lady, St. Ignatius of Loyola began his new life and the founding of Jesuit Order. And of course, a trip to Spain wouldn’t be complete without visiting Barcelona. One of the most memorable stops in Barcelona will be a tour of Antonio Gaudi’s Sagrada Familia, the most recognizable symbol of the city. This is sure to be an unforgettable journey. Please consider joining us!
Sincerely in Christ,
Thomas Kurt and Fr. Mike O' Brien
