We will spend the first two and a half days in Fatima entering into the mystery and prophesies revealed there to three children in 1917. We'll visit the site of several apparitions, including the Miracle of the Sun on October 13, 1917. Dr. Christopher West explores what the secrets of Fatima reveal about this critical moment in history and how each and every one of us can play a role in bringing about the promised “triumph of the Immaculate Heart.”

We will dive deep into the lives of St. Teresa of Avila and St. John of the Cross, tapping into their wisdom and learning how to apply the examples of these saints' lives to our own. We will learn why these two mystics played a pivotal role in the spiritual journey of St. John Paul II. We will also touch on the lives of Ignatius of Loyala and other Spanish saints. 

A pilgrimage to Fatima and the land of the Spanish mystics couldn’t be more fitting for Theology of the Body Institute. Our Lady of Fatima, John of the Cross, and Teresa of Avila have all played an enormously significant role in shaping John Paul II’s TOB! In fact, one could even say that this

pilgrimage is taking us to the historical and mystical roots of John Paul II’s teaching.

You will have plenty of free time to explore the local cuisine, social life and sites not on the itinerary but you want to visit. Our motto is Faith, Food & Fun!
