Lisbon at last!

Thank you angels ... we arrived safely in Lisbon! Minor crosses like spilled water bottles in book bags or missed announcements ... or even lost luggage (yes, one nun's luggage did not arrive!)... make sure we do not forget this is a pilgrimage of reparation and not a sight seeing tour. 

After meeting our tour guide we visited the church built over the site of St. Anthony's birth and also the cathedral of Lisbon where he was baptized. 


All our bags ... but one.

The church of St. Anthony...built over the place of his birth.

The crypt...

Sr. Mary Antoinette at St. Anthony's birth place!

 The tour guide explains about the cathedral.



We chanted the Salve Regina here ... beautiful acoustics!

Then we had Mass ... all squished together in a little hotel room! 
Tomorrow we get the conference room.

  2. Sisters at Novitiate had a Requiem High Mass for the repose of the soul of Irene Fuire. We miss you & unite ourselves with you as you make this pilgrimage of reparation.
