COMMUNITY OF FÁTIMA
The Claretian missionary community, based at the Seminary of Fátima, is devoted to welcoming and supporting all those who come to this house in search of hospitality and spirituality. An annual programme of retreats is offered for this purpose.
The seminary’s facilities are also available for other religious or lay groups to hold their own gatherings or retreats.
The community provides spiritual assistance to various religious congregations and collaborates with the Sanctuary of Fátima, particularly in the celebration of the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
Finally, it strives to receive pilgrims with great care, offering them a peaceful and welcoming environment.
The community also offers pastoral services within the Diocese of Leiria-Fátima.
