MAIN JMJ COMPANY WEB PAGE FOR THIS PILGRIMAGE (please visit):
Step into a once-in-a-lifetime journey across Europe’s most beautiful and holy sites. Begin in Fátima, Portugal, where Our Lady appeared to three shepherd children over 100 years ago. Continue to the historic city of Salamanca and then to Ávila, home of St. Teresa. In Zaragoza, visit the shrine of Our Lady of the Pillar, where St. Josemaría Escriva was ordained. High in the Pyrenees, encounter the beloved Shrine of Our Lady of Torreciudad, so central to his life.
Our path then leads to Lourdes, France, where millions come seeking healing and hope at the grotto of St. Bernadette. Finally, the pilgrimage culminates in Paris, where we will pray at the Chapel of the Miraculous Medal, gaze upon the Eiffel Tower, and visit the restored Notre Dame Basilica—an unforgettable blend of faith and culture.
This unique pilgrimage is more than travel—it is a transformative experience of prayer, friendship, and discovery, I hope you can join us.
