Day 1: Arrival in Mexico City
Pilgrims from Birmingham and Huntsville meet at the connecting airport and fly into Mexico City together. The ProRome Tour Manager and an arrival assistant meet the group at the airport, and the coach transfers everyone to the hotel for check-in and time to rest. Fr. Jerabek celebrates Sunday Mass at a church near the hotel, followed by a welcome dinner. ¡Bienvenidos a México!
Day 2: Our Lady of Guadalupe and Teotihuacán
Holy Mass at the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe on Tepeyac Hill, where the Blessed Virgin appeared to Saint Juan Diego in 1531. The group prays before the tilma, which survived the bombing of November 14, 1921, when a bomb hidden in a vase of flowers exploded beneath it: a bronze crucifix on the altar bent double, yet the image of Our Lady was untouched. The group visits the Old Basilica and climbs to the chapels on Tepeyac Hill, and each pilgrim offers a rose at the shrine. In the afternoon the coach drives north to Teotihuacán for a guided walk along the Avenue of the Dead to the Pyramids of the Sun and the Moon.
Day 3: Taxco, or Coyoacán and Xochimilco
The group chooses one of two days. Option 1: the coach drives south to Taxco, the hillside silver town, for Holy Mass at the Church of Santa Prisca, one of the finest baroque churches in Mexico, with time to walk the steep streets and silver shops, and a stop in Cuernavaca on the way back. Option 2: a day in the south of the city, with Holy Mass at the Church of Saint John the Baptist in Coyoacán and time in the old plaza for churros and coffee, then a ride on the colorful trajineras along the canals of Xochimilco, with lunch on board for those who wish.
Day 4: Blessed Miguel Pro and the Historic Center
The morning goes to Colonia Roma and the Church of the Holy Family, with Holy Mass at the tomb of Blessed Miguel Pro and a visit to the museum dedicated to him. During the Cristero War the Jesuit priest ministered in secret across the capital until he was shot by firing squad on November 23, 1927, arms outstretched, crying “¡Viva Cristo Rey!” The pilgrimage reaches his tomb in the 100th year since his martyrdom. In the afternoon the group sees the Plaza of the Three Cultures, then the Metropolitan Cathedral on the Zócalo with the Chapel of the Black Christ, the National Palace from outside, and the pedestrian Calle Madero.
Day 5: Blessed Conchita, Cholula, and Puebla
After checking out, the group celebrates Holy Mass at the Church of San José del Altillo, at the tomb of Blessed Conchita Cabrera, wife, mother, and mystic, beatified in 2019. The coach then drives east toward Puebla. Near the city the group stops in Cholula and climbs to the Church of Our Lady of Remedies, built on top of the Great Pyramid, with the volcanoes in view. Check-in in Puebla and dinner.
Day 6: Puebla, Tlaxcala, and Ocotlán
The morning is spent in Puebla, with Holy Mass in the gilded Chapel of the Rosary at the Church of Santo Domingo and a visit to the Cathedral. In the afternoon the coach makes the short drive to Tlaxcala and the Shrine of San Miguel del Milagro, where Saint Michael the Archangel is said to have appeared in 1631, then to the Basilica of Our Lady of Ocotlán. Farewell dinner in Puebla.
Day 7: Farewell to Our Lady and Departure
After breakfast the coach leaves Puebla for Mexico City. The group stops at the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe for a farewell Mass to give thanks for the week, then continues to the airport for the afternoon flight home through the connecting hub to Birmingham and Huntsville, with the Tour Manager assisting at check-in. Everyone is home Saturday evening.
