50th Anniversary Marian Pilgrimage to Fatima and Lourdes

Journey with Fr. Bob Johnson and Our Lady of the Woods Catholic Church on an extraordinary Catholic pilgrimage to Fatima, Santiago de Compostela, and Lourdes. Enjoy a spiritually enriching journey to three of the most sacred pilgrimage locations in Europe. Begin at Fatima, Portugal, where the Virgin Mary appeared to three shepherd children in 1917. Next, travel to Santiago de Compostela, Spain, the resting place of St. James the Apostle. The pilgrimage concludes in Lourdes, France, known for the Marian apparitions to Saint Bernadette Soubirous in 1858 and its renowned healing waters. This pilgrimage offers profound opportunities for prayer, reflection, and renewal of faith. Don’t miss out!

What's Our Mission?

We, the Roman Catholic faith community of Our Lady of the Woods, in communion with ONE, HOLY, CATHOLIC, and APOSTOLIC Church and under a patronage of Mary, are joined together as a people of God. Our mission is to spread the Gospel and bring people into a relationship with God and one another through the celebration of the Sacraments, especially the Holy Eucharist. We live out Christ’s mission in the world through evangelization, worship, education, stewardship, and service to the needy.
