Lisbon (St. Anthony) Santarem (Eucharistic Miracle) · Avila (St. Teresa)
Burgos · Loyola (St. Ignatius) Lourdes (St. Bernadette)
From the time you arrive, you are greeted with the life of St. Anthony of Padua (Patron Saint of Lost Things.) Although the patron Saint of Lost Things is known as St. Anthony of Padua (Italy), he was originally born in Lisbon, Portugal. This Church is built upon the site of St. Anthony's birth, and is where Saint John Paul II visited in 1982. The former Pope stopped at this Church, on his way to Fatima, to pray to Our Lady in thanksgiving. Saint John Paul II recognizes Our Lady as saving him from being killed when he was shot one year prior, in 1981.
Then you are on your way to Fatima, home to the three shepherd children who witnessed the apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary - 100 years ago! Continue through the life of St. Teresa of Avila, and end in Lourdes. Whether you come for prayer at the Grotto or in the Basilica, or if you came to immerse yourself in the famous Healing Baths - Lourdes is the place for true miracles.
