ABOUT YOUR PILGRIMAGE
Embark on an inspiring 11-day pilgrimage through Spain and France, where sacred devotion, historic beauty, and cultural discovery come together in a journey of faith and renewal. Begin in vibrant Barcelona with visits to La Sagrada Familia and the mountain shrine of Our Lady of Montserrat before traveling through the Pyrenees to Lourdes, where pilgrims will pray at the Grotto, walk in the footsteps of St. Bernadette, join the Candlelight Procession, and take time for Mass and personal reflection. The journey continues to Paris, where iconic landmarks, beloved churches, world-class art, and the grandeur of Versailles offer a beautiful conclusion to this unforgettable pilgrimage. Return home with cherished memories, deeper faith, and lasting spiritual blessings from Spain and France.
Visit Spain & France’s
Most Sacred Shrines
Our France and Spain pilgrimage tours bring pilgrims to sacred destinations rich in Marian devotion, Catholic history, and spiritual renewal. These journeys may include Lourdes in France, where Saint Bernadette encountered Our Lady at the Grotto of Massabielle in 1858, and Montserrat in Spain, home to the revered Black Madonna and one of the country’s most treasured Marian shrines. Along the way, pilgrims also encounter the beauty of Barcelona’s La Sagrada Familia, the prayerful heights of Montmartre and the Basilica of Sacré-Cœur in Paris, and other sacred places that invite reflection, worship, and a deeper trust in Mary’s intercession.
Led by experienced guides and supported by careful planning, comfortable accommodations, and seamless logistics, each pilgrimage is created to help pilgrims focus on prayer, devotion, and the grace of the journey.

Visit La Sagrada Familia, Antoni Gaudí’s breathtaking basilica and one of the most remarkable sacred landmarks in Spain.
