Pilgrimages

Joe Walsh Tours have been proudly organising pilgrimages for over 49 years to an extensive choice of religious destinations in Europe and worldwide.

We are delighted to offer a wide variety of pilgrimages to the world's most famous Marian Shrines of Lourdes, Fatima and Medjugorje, the Holy Land, Assisi and San Giovanni Rotondo in Italy and places of spiritual significance in Poland, Czech Republic and Turkey. We have also designed multi-centre itineraries combining our main destinations with some of the most beautiful Shrines of France and Italy, Garabandal, Loyola and Santiago de Compostela in Spain.

In 2010, we are delighted to continue with our pilgrimage programme to the Holy Land and announce the introduction of our direct flights from Ireland to Tel Aviv. Some of the major events of 2010 are the first exhibition of the Shroud of Turin following a long conservation and restoration process, and the Oberammergau Passion Play, a once in a decade opportunity to see this magnific presentation about the life, death and resurrection of Jesus.

For pilgrims who wish to enhance their holidays with a few days by the sea, Joe Walsh Tours continue to offer a selection of Pilgrimage & Sun Holidays combining Fatima & Lisbon Coast, San Giovanni Rotondo & Sorrento, Medjugorje & Croatian Coast and Holy Land & Cyprus. Any of these options will give you the opportunity to relax in a picturesque beachside setting after your pilgrimage.
