The group of 26 Brazilians arrived in Europe on the morning of Wednesday, April 19th. The flight carrying the pilgrims departed from Belo Horizonte late Tuesday afternoon and arrived in Lisbon in the early hours of the morning.
In Europe, visitors will participate in the Beatification of the Martyrs of the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts in Paris. The ceremony will be presided over by the Prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, sent by Pope Francis. The Mass with the rite of Beatification will be celebrated in the Church of Saint Sulpice, the same church where the film The Da Vinci Code was shot.

In the following days, the pilgrims will walk the Paths of Father Eustace, passing by the headquarters of the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts on Rue Picpus in Paris. The following week, the group will visit the house where Father Eustace was born and the church where he was baptized in the Netherlands. The pilgrims will also pass through Belgium, where they will visit the place where the Blessed studied and also where the tomb of Saint Damien of Molokai is located.
The religious assistance for the tour will be provided by Father Vinicius Maciel, SSCC, who will celebrate Mass at the tomb of Saint Damien and lead pilgrims on a journey to learn more about the history of Father Eustace. The tour will conclude with a visit to Rome, the center of the Catholic Church in the world.
