Day 1-2 Arrivals, Lisbon Tour, Mass at Santarém Miracle, Fatima

by Steve Ray on September 2, 2026

So, we again embark on one of our favorite pilgrimages. They’re all great, but this one stands out for folks. Everybody gathered at 8 AM at the Lisbon Airport in Portugal. We boarded the bus and did a quick tour of Lisbon seeing the main sites, especially its Catholic history. Lunch.

Our first stop was the Eucharistic Miracle of Santarem for Mass and to marvel. Then a short ride to our lovely Santa Maria Hotel only a five minute walk from the Fatima Shrine.

Dinner and quickly to bed.
