Adrian, our courier, from Options Travel came too. We received all our documents,: tickets, itinerary, hymn book, etc. so we are all set to go. Our Pilgrimage starts with Mass in Church on Sat at 7.15 then we fly from M/c to Lisbon. In Fatima we stay at the Lux Mundi Hotel for four nights. Following in the footsteps of Lucy and her two younger cousins Jacinta and brother Francisco we visit The Sanctuary, Valinhos, Cabenca and Aljustrel where the Apparitions occurred. We have our own Mass each day except on 13th Oct when we join thousands of other Pilgrims, mostly Portuguese, for Mass on the steps of the Basilica. We will remember all you in our prayers. Thanks to Father Fulop who will say the weekend Masses and to Mary Oliver for looking after everything.
