The guides were great! Very knowledgeable on the locations we visited and were very much taking the pilgrimage with us. They also understood the culture and any risks and let us know how to navigate these challenges without any issues. I would definitely plan another pilgrimage with JMJ in the future.

I had a wonderful time. Steve and Christina were more than accommodating they were so knowledgeable and true disciples. I can not say enough good things about how amazing this trip was!

Our pilgrimage to Sanctuary of Fátima was truly a beautiful and unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived in Fátima, we felt a deep sense of peace and spiritual reflection that filled the entire town.
Walking through the sanctuary grounds was incredibly moving. The atmosphere was calm, prayerful, and welcoming to pilgrims from all over the world. One of the most touching moments was visiting the Chapel of the Apparitions, the exact place where the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to the three shepherd children in 1917. Standing there in prayer was a moment we will always remember.
We were also inspired by the beauty of the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary, where the tombs of the young visionaries rest. Learning more about Francisco Marto, Jacinta Marto, and Lúcia dos Santos made the visit even more meaningful and inspiring.
The Rosary walk on Saturday evening was especially powerful. Seeing thousands of pilgrims praying the Rosary together in different languages, created a moving moment of unity and faith that we will never forget.
In addition to the spiritual experience, the accommodations were very good and comfortable, which made the pilgrimage even more enjoyable. Everything was well organized, allowing us to focus on prayer, reflection, and fully experiencing this holy place.
Overall, our pilgrimage to Fatima was a deeply spiritual journey that strengthened our faith and left us with lasting memories. We left feeling grateful, peaceful, and inspired. It is truly a place every pilgrim should experience at least once in their lifetime. 🙏✨
Thank you JMJ! Steve and Cristina you did an amazing job!

JMJ Youth Pilgrimages was simply amazing!
My wife and I recently attended our first ever pilgrimage and we travelled to Portugal with Steve and JMJ. Steve created an incredible experience for a group of adults who are used to being the planners and facilitators. He created an environment where we were comfortable letting go and being a participant ourselves. His knowledge of the country and pilgrimage sites and his passion are unmatched. Above all else, what stuck out to me most is his humility and his ability to fade into the background as we explored Portugal.
We also got to meet Cristina who shared her knowledge of Portugal with us as well. She and Steve worked well together as a team.
I would definitely travel with JMJ again and I would feel most confident allowing JMJ to lead a pilgrimage of my youth.

I don't think I have enough words to describe this experience. Every place was special, learning the history and listening to the stories in each place brought a deeper encounter with God and each other. Timing was just right, I didn't feel too rushed from place to place and the logistics allowed for opportunity for community, faith, silence and fellowship.
God's timing is perfect and the opennes to the Holy Spirit from everyone on the team at JMJ was a gift that kept on giving!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for a wonderful time!!
