Experience Europe in the footsteps of the pilgrims!
The working group “Shrines of Europe“ was founded in 1996 and is uniting Europe’s principle Marian pilgrimage sites: Altötting, Czestochowa, Lourdes, Loreto and Fátima. A few years later the Austrian pilgrimage center Mariazell joined the group. The youngest member of the association is Einsiedeln, the most important place of pilgrimage in Veneration of the Virgin Mary in Switzerland (2017).
The importance of these great Marian Shrines was emphasized by the visits of the last European Popes John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI. Being great devotees of Mary they each visited these shrines during their time in office.
All these places have one thing in common: they provide spiritual consolation and new strength for living.
