PILGRIMAGE OF REPARATION TO FATIMA
(Paris & Lourdes too)

August 19 - 30, 2005

92 pilgrims from United States, Canada and Australia took part in the Act of Reparation in Fatima on August 21st and 22nd.

The Saint Pius X Pilgrimage Group was the largest group there, we were also blessed to have with us 3 SSPX Sisters, 4 Priests, and our youngest pilgrims was 4 years old.

Beside the Act of Reparation in Fatima, we also visited the Village of the Seers, attended the Pontifical Mass.

We traveled through Spain, and visited the beautiful cathedral of Burgos.

Then on to France, stopping first at Lourdes where amongst other sacred sites we went to the Shrine of the Bleeding Willow Tree.

At Ars we saw the rectory of the Holy Cure, St. John Vianney, and his incorrupt body, while on Sunday, we made our way to Paray Le Monial where traditional Capuchin friar and our accompanying priest, Fr. Carl Pulvermacher, offered the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and blessed us with the first class relic of Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque.

We were also able to see the body of St. Bernadette and the room where she died, ending our pilgrimage in Paris, where the innocence of children known, our little Andrew touched the chair where Our Lady sat when she appeared to St. Catherine Laboure Rue du Bac in the Chapel of the Miraculous Medal.

Many graces were received during this pilgrimage, instant conversion and miracles, all attributed to Our Lady.

FATIMA PILGRIMS
Written by Fr. Stephen Somerville in August 2005 to commemorate the pilgrimage [set to the tune of Oh Bring Back to Me My Darling]

1. Good pilgrims fly over the ocean
Good pilgrims fly over the sea
To Fatima Portugal going–
O bring back my pilgrims to me.

Refrain

Bring back, bring back
O bring back my pilgrims to me, to me!
Bring back, bring back
O bring back my pilgrims to me!

2. We took off on August the eighteenth,
To Newark we pointed our flight
Then switched to a plane going to Lisbon
By golly, it took us all night!

Refrain

3. Dear Robert and Christine di Cecco
Did welcome us warmly to earth
We quickly learned Portuguese customs
And Euros their relative worth.

Refrain

4. We boarded a bus for Santarem
It's halfway to Fatima too.
We'd Mass there in front of the monstrance
Revealing the Flesh and Blood true.

Refrain

5. At Fatima's Hotel Regina
We took in our luggage galore;
The lobby was jammed with our presence
C'nay-juns all over the floor.

Refrain

6. Good pilgrims frequent holy places
So off to the homes of the Seers
Francisco, Jacintha and Lucy
With allelulia and with cheers.

Refrain

7. On Sunday we met in our thousands
Saint Pius the Tenth looking on;
We tramped to the good Capelinha
With thundering Catholic song.

Refrain

8. Alas, the Conciliar demons
Could not stand our witness to love;
They turned up their hellish loudspeakers
Downblasting from towers above.

Refrain

9. Good pilgrims are prayerful and pious
Their rosaries have to be blest;
They love candle-lighted processions
Of Catholics all... They're the best!

Refrain
