Blessed Journeys   Portugal, Spain and France with Fr. Peter Sabbath. September 20 - October 3, 2014

This fall, Salt + Light invites you to pray at some of world's best known Christian pilgrimage sites. From September 20 – October 3, 2014, take a voyage through Western Europe, visiting the holiest shrines of Portugal, Spain and France.
From venturing to Our Lady of Fatima in Portugal, to walking the beautiful Camino de Santiago to standing before the tomb of St. Bernadette, the memories made on this blessed journey will be engrained amongst the most profound experiences of your life. It was in these places that some of the most beloved saints the Church has ever known, were formed and then lived out their faith. Come to know them, and the places they called home!
