Traveling to Fatima and the surrounding sacred sites with JMJ Youth Pilgrimages was a remarkable experience. As a first-time pilgrim, my husband and I were impressed by how thoughtfully the entire journey was planned. Every detail—from transportation to accommodations to daily schedules—was handled with care and professionalism, allowing our group to focus on prayer and the beauty of the pilgrimage itself. As an all-adult group, one of the things we appreciated most was the balance JMJ created between shared experiences and personal time. We had meaningful opportunities to pray, reflect, and explore as a group, while also having free time to walk the shrines, visit the towns, and take in the sacred atmosphere of Fatima at our own pace. Our guides, Steve and Christina, were exceptionally knowledgeable and attentive. They shared the rich history and spiritual significance of each place we visited while also ensuring that the practical aspects of travel ran smoothly. Their experience and leadership made the entire trip feel effortless and kept us feeling safe and confident in our travels. We am very grateful to JMJ for such a well-organized and spiritually enriching journey. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone considering a pilgrimage to Fatima or other holy sites. 🙏✨

JMJ Youth went above and beyond. Every detail was well thought out and planned. There was flexibility in the schedule to add things where needed. Steve was such an incredible leader! Cristina was an awesome addition and they both made our group get the most out of the experience!

My husband and I cannot adequately describe how grateful we are for the opportunity to travel with the projectYM team and Steve and Christina. We absolutely loved it. The food, the staff, the accommodations, the experiences...all beyond words! I love the spirit of JMJ and how it moves to create experiences that enlighten and enliven and empower Catholic youth and adults. If there is ever an opening on your staff I would love the opportunity to be part of your team!

I had such a prayerful experience. The accommodations were wonderful and food was great. Our tour guide gave a good mix of history and faith information with plenty of time to pray and experience encounters with God.

Our trip to Portugal was amazing! Just the right amount of visiting places and free time. We would definitely use JMJ again.
