• Reflections from World Youth Day September 11, 2023
  We are pleased to bring you testimonials from some of our pilgrims who attended WYD 2023. I chose to take a few minutes to myself to sit outside the Sanctuary in Fatima to journal my thoughts and experience thus far. I expected it to be a moment of quiet reflection and meditation, but I was […]
• “Have no fear, take heart, do not be afraid.” August 11, 2023
