Dear Pilgrims,
Whilst the holy doors have closed around the world nevertheless opportunities for pilgrimages are always open.
Fatima is celebrating its centenary since Our Lady first appeared to Lucia, Jacinta and Francisco on the 13th of May 1917.
For one hundred years, the miraculous apparitions of Our Lady at Fatima have been inspiring the faith of millions all over the world, they continue to celebrate Our Lady’s message of hope for peace.
In May, Pope Francis will visit Fatima to open the centenary celebrations. Many groups have already booked for this year; however, we still have availability for individuals and groups who wish to travel to Fatima to participate in these special celebrations.
Lourdes continues to be our most popular destination with regular charter flights for our pilgrims from throughout the UK. The pastoral theme this year is “The Almighty has does great things for me!” World Day of the Sick was first celebrated on the 11th of February 1993, making 2017 its 25th anniversary. Lourdes now invites pilgrims to look at suffering through the eyes of Mary.
Our Holy Land pilgrimages are always a wonderful event, following with Christians in the footsteps of Our Lord and his Holy Family. We ensure that every pilgrimage we organise to the Holy Land is a closed tour thus giving you peace of mind that your travel is safe. We fully comply with all Foreign Office advice at all times. Therefore, please support the Christians living there by going on pilgrimage to visit them.
We continue to offer great value pilgrimages to Italy, including Rome, Assisi and San Giovanni. Our pilgrimages also include Lisieux and Nevers, and this year we have added Medjugorje and Krakow.
We are members of AITO as well as being bonded members of ABTA and we hold an ATOL license issued by the UK government, so you can be assured your booking and money is protected and safe with us.
Our website, www.mancunia.com features all our pilgrimages so for the latest information please visit our site from your computer or mobile device.
