Anybody know of any good sites? I’ve been to Fatima, Garabandal, and Lourdes, and I would like to attend another.

I’ve heard it said that Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City is one of the most well-attended pilgrimage sites to Our Lady.

Very true, I’ll have to check that out sometime.
The pilgrimages that I’ve been to were pretty amazing. I noticed that a lot of the places that Mary appears are very hard to get to and that just makes the experience more enjoyable.
Is there any Catholic groups that set up these pilgrimages that anyone knows of?
I visited Fatima, Lourdes, and Garanbadal with “Home of the Mother,” and I was wondering if anybody else does this?

I have never been to a shrine in Europe, but I found this site you may be interested in:

How about the Holy Land, I went two years ago. We had Mass every day at every Holy site that we visited. It is a trip that I will remember for the rest of my life! Every time I open the Bible now, I can visualize the country side.
 
Does anybody know of any ruling on Garabandal. I was just told after mass this morning that it was condemned by the church. I would love to know where to even look for such information. I’m scrubbing the 'net now and this is the first place I thought to come.

Thank you!

Here is a site with some information:

campus.udayton.edu/mary/resources/garabandal_letters.html

I got that from this site that has information about Marian apparitions. Just scroll down about 1/2 a page and in 1961, Garabandal, it says: “negative decision”. I didn’t see the word condemned…there are various categories that the Church puts apparitions in.

Something to do between those expensive pilgrimages is to visit a different church, basillica, cathedral or monastery in your area.

It’s cheap, just abit of gas, and it is really a nice way to see some of the beauty and tradition that can be found in our faith without the expense and time. I find that visiting these other church’s reinvigorates me and jump starts my prayer life again. I am in the Diocese of Brooklyn in NYC, and it would take years to visit all of the church’s we have here. Many are extremely beautiful and many are well over 100 years old now. I realise that is not old by European standards, but it is for us!😃

Hi, I’ve only been on one pilgrimage so my experience is pretty limited, but last year I went to Walsinham with our Church and it was a day I will never forget, very moving. I’ve linked it for you. Hope you get the chance to go there:)
 
Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré in Quebec Canada was awesome when I visited.

Plus, Quebec City is beautiful.

If you go during the first two weeks of July, its during their Independence Day celebration.

Lots of free entertainment and things to do.

You could go on the pilgrimage site, 206tours.com, then click on the pilgrimages on their list of pilgrimages, to see about the places these pilgrimages go. I know about this site because I went on several of their pilgrimages.
I was on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land once and perhaps will go again. You can see Jesus’ tomb, and go inside his tomb. go to the spot where Jesus Christ was born, see the tomb of Lazarus who Jesus rose from the dead, go into the room of the Last Supper, and other important sites. This is not to mention the place I love the most, Guadalupe in Mexico.

My wife and myself went on a pilgrimage of the Great Shrines of France through 206 Tours.

We loved it and we lucked out. There were only four other people on our tour. Generally they will not book the tour without at least 15 people. When my wife asked how come they were going with just 6 of us, they said they hadn’t run the tour for a while and wanted to be sure all the logistics were still in place. We were sorta being used as lab rats, but it worked out well.

I have been on several pilgrimages with 206 Tours, in fact some of the priests I know usually are the spiritual directors of the tours during the summer months. They book great hotels and the guides are wonderful. My pilgrimage In the Footsteps of St. Paul to Greece and Ephesus was the best, especially the cruise part to the Greek Islands.

Well here’s a couple;

The National Shrine of Divine Mercy at Eden Hill in Stock bridge, MA.

The Shrine of North American Martyrs in Auriesville, NY.

I visit the Shrine of Divine Mercy almost every summer. Its about a 2.5hr drive for me.

I visited the Shrine of North American Martyrs, which was influence by reading the book,
"Saint Among Savages: The Life of Saint Isaac Jogues " by Francis Talbot
