The August 12/13 pilgrimage will be presided over by Bishop Claude Schockert, President of the National Service for Pastoral Ministry amongst Migrants in France.
The theme the Shrine of Fatima proposes for reflection to its pilgrims and visitors during the month of August is: “By the Spirit you’ll live” (cf. Rom 8, 13).
But because Fatima these days is filled specially with pilgrims from the “Pilgrimage of the Migrant and the Refugee”, organized by the Bishops’ Committee for Human Mobility – Portuguese Catholic Work for Migration (OCPM), another motto is proposed to them: “With Francisco and Jacinta Welcome Christ in Migrants and Minor Refugees”, based on the theme of the Message of the Holy Father for the 96th World Day of the Migrant and of the Refugee: “Migrants and Minor Refugees”.
