  • Pilgrimage to Marian Shrines in Europe (Fatima, Zaragoza and Lourdes)

    Fr. Ryan is leading a small group of pilgrims to visit three apparition sites of our Blessed Mother in Europe from April 25 – May 5, 2022. Along the way, we will stop and celebrate Mass in the tomb of St. James at Santiago de Campostela. To celebrate our 360th anniversary, we will also visit the birthplace of St. Ignatius of Loyola, and Castillo de Javier, where our patron saint, St. Francis Xavier was born. Furthermore, 2022 is the 400th anniversary of the canonization of these two saints.

    The cost is $3,399 and it covers roundtrip air from Dulles, hotel accommodation, breakfast, dinner and coach transportation between the sites. Space is limited to 35 people. The deadline to register and pay is on December 31, 2021.
