Here are my thoughts about the Fatima Lourdes Rome Pilgrimage Tour:

1) I loved it.
2) every lodging was top notch, 5-star accommodations.
3) meals were local cuisine in nature and delicious
4) the guide was good but lacked some Catholic knowledge of some of the sights. But he was a very nice person
5) the pace of the pilgrimage tour was not rushed
6) the places of interest were what we all expected – prayerful, respectful and impactful on our lives. We’re not the same after this pilgrimage tour
7) I would go AGAIN!!

Thank you for the wonderful Pilgrimage to Fatima Lourdes and Rome. We prayed for Catholic Journeys at every Mass and I am looking forward to my pilgrimage tour next year with Catholic Journeys.

I am very grateful to have gone on his wonderful Fatima Lourdes Rome pilgrimage with Catholic Journeys. Overall, it was a great experience including our very professional guides, the hotels, and Fr. John. I have to say that I found our masses he celebrated were beautiful and intimate. He gave wonderful homilies. It was my first ever pilgrimage so I had no idea what to expect.

The hotels were great. Great food and the staff was good and friendly. Our bus drivers were awesome too. I was grateful that water was provided on the bus!

Thank you for providing this pilgrimage! God bless!

This is Jeff & Diane and we recently went on the Catholic Journeys pilgrimage to Lisbon, Fatima, Spain, Lourdes and Rome. It was a wonderful experience to be part of the pilgrimage with so many like minded people. And Father John Restrepo was fantastic.
Just a few concerns. When we got to Lisbon it was very difficult to find our tour leader. The writing on his sign was way too small. We probably walked right past him several times
We loved the hotels, except for the hotel Astrid, we did not care for and understand why you don’t normally use this property.
Again, we loved the people and the pilgrimage experience. The best to all of you at Catholic Journeys. God Bless. Jeff & Diane

Dear Catholic Journeys
We enjoyed our pilgrimage to Fatima Lourdes, and the Vatican in October.
Great tour guide and the accommodations were great. One highlight that was more significant than expected was seeing St. Stephen’s church and the Eucharistic Miracle.
