Pilgrims at Fatima prayed tonight for the Pope's health. The Archbishop of Braga, who is presiding over the October Pilgrimage, called for more intense and profound prayer for Leo XIV.

Carlos Cabecinhas says he maintains a “deep conviction” of a papal visit in 2027, despite Leão XIV being hospitalised this Tuesday for the removal of a lung nodule.

The Sanctuary of Fatima is responding to repeated requests with an official certificate for those who make the journey on foot. The launch coincides with the international pilgrimage in October.

The international pilgrimage on 12 and 13 October to the Sanctuary of Fátima is one of those that brings the most pilgrims to the Marian shrine.

Fátima is considered the spiritual centre of the Catholic Church in Portugal.


Since time immemorial, every eclipse has been predicted centuries in advance, and nothing was expected to happen at noon on that precise day of October 17, 1917.

The Apostolic Nuncio in Portugal says the Church “wants to be a true home for everyone”.

A large crowd of 250,000 pilgrims assembled at the Fátima sanctuary in Portugal to participate in the traditional annual candlelight mass.

Knees on the ground, burnt candles, and kilometres travelled on foot, by bicycle, or by caravan. Thousands of believers gather once again in Fátima for May 13th. Some ask for favours, others give thanks, in a ritual that returns to the same place every year.

The Patriarch of Lisbon, Rui Valério, stated today that in Fatima “no one is a foreigner” and considered that humanity will only find peace when it discovers that it is a family.

The CMTV commentator says that, much like in 1917, we are facing a war, families are suffering, and we are at a stalemate regarding the future, which is why the message remains relevant.
