Tel: 01 635 9300 | Open all day Monday to Friday 9am - 5.30pm 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.

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). • Wine and Mineral Water included at no extra charge with the two main meals. • Guided tour of the Sanctuary area. • Half-day coach tour to Valinhos, Aljustrel.
