At the internationally renowned Marian Shrines of Lourdes and Fátima, Our Blessed Lady appeals for prayer and penance, offering her maternal love, perpetual help and powerful protection to those who respond to her plea to stop offending God.
The year 2027 marks the 110th anniversary of the Fátima apparitions and, since the Feast of St James falls on a Sunday, is also a Jacobean Holy Year, offering pilgrims the opportunity to gain a full Plenary Indulgence at Santiago Cathedral. This special year offers you the perfect occasion to respond generously to Our Lady’s requests for penance, the daily Rosary and personal consecration.
Pilgrimages are rooted in Scripture, with Abraham’s earthly journey towards his heavenly homeland and the Holy Family’s annual journeys to Jerusalem.
We warmly invite you to join our 2027 Marian Pilgrimage to Lourdes and Fátima. In our troubled times, it is an opportunity to step away from the distractions of daily life, answer Our Lady’s call and draw closer to her Divine Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Fr Linus F Clovis Spiritual Director of Marian Pilgrimages
Our Lady appeared to Lúcia, Francisco and Jacinta at the Cova da Iria between May and October 1917. In 2027 the Church marks the 110th anniversary.

A Jacobean Holy Year
The Feast of St James, 25 July, falls on a Sunday in 2027. The Holy Door of Santiago Cathedral is opened and pilgrims may gain a plenary indulgence under the usual conditions.

Eighteen shrines, one journey
From the Atlantic coast of Portugal, across northern Spain and the Pyrenees, to the heart of Paris: the great Marian, Eucharistic and Sacred Heart shrines of Western Europe.
We fly from St Lucia to Paris and on to Lisbon, then travel by air-conditioned coach through Portugal and northern Spain into France, ending in Paris. Eighteen shrines along the way, in the order we expect to visit them.
* Itinerary and shrine visits are subject to confirmation and may change.
