Please join Father John Paul Heisler, St. James Catholic Church (Falls Church, VA) on an extraordinary spiritual expedition to sacred sites, commencing in the revered grounds of Fatima, Portugal, the hallowed ground where the apparition of Mary occurred a century ago. Experience the profound energy and significance of this historical location.

Our pilgrimage then leads us to the enchanting City of Salamanca in Spain, offering a glimpse into its rich cultural heritage. Follow in the footsteps of St. Teresa as we venture to Avila, delving into the life and legacy of this revered saint.

Continuing our odyssey, we head to Lourdes, France, a sanctuary where Our Lady manifested to St. Bernadette. Lourdes stands as a testament to healing and miracles, embracing visitors with its spiritual aura and transformative power.

Concluding our sacred journey, we arrive in the picturesque City of Paris, where the apparition of Our Lady to St. Catherine Labouré gifted the world with the revered Miraculous Medal. Immerse yourself in the spiritual essence of this magnificent city.

This is a pilgrimage of faith and discovery, as we traverse these significant locations imbued with profound spirituality and historical significance.
