In Nice, participants celebrate Opening Mass at the Church of Our Lady of the Assumption, explore the beauty of the French Riviera, and experience Monaco’s cathedral and coastal charm. The journey continues through Chartres and Lisieux, with Mass at Chartres Cathedral and prayer at the tomb of Saint Thérèse, before reflecting at Mont Saint-Michel and the Normandy American Cemetery. In Paris, the group visits Sainte-Chapelle, Sacré-Cœur, and Notre-Dame, attends Ash Wednesday Mass at the Chapel of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal, and experiences the city’s art, cuisine, and iconic landmarks. The pilgrimage concludes in London with visits to Westminster Abbey, St. Paul’s Cathedral, Windsor Castle, and a farewell celebration in the West End, creating a balanced and inspiring journey that brings faith, history, and shared discovery together.
