The Marian Pilgrimage to Fatima, Zaragoza, Torre Ciudad, Lourdes, and Paris was amazing. The other pilgrims were great, and we made many new friends. My wife and I liked the way JMJ Tours kept track of everyone by assigning each pilgrim a prayer partner. That was also a good way to make new friends.
Our tour guide in each city was excellent, but of the four or five, Collete (sp?) from Portugal, was truly outstanding and had a kind and compassionate heart.
Besides seeing the Holy sites, the Masses in those places were beautiful. Besides the beautiful Masses, Father Kilner was readily available to hear confessions.
I generally don’t sleep well when we travel, but I slept well every night because of the exhausting “pilgrim-like” schedule.
I will be open to other JMJ tours, especially the one to Quebec when it’s offered.
