January 23 - February 2, 2019

Highlights, Pricing, and Contact Information

Can I Afford This? – Every effort is made to make this very affordable. – All pilgrims search out their own cheap-est flights. This allows pilgrims to save as much as possible on the overall cost of the pilgrimage. – Hotels are recommended but you are free to research your own. On the next page are hotels which we have used in the past and all are in walking distance to the shrine. – For the meals, there are several restau-rants which pilgrims are free to explore. Meals are not together as one group but you are encouraged to socialize with other pilgrims during the meals. You are also welcomed to invite a priest(s) with you for a meal. This free schedule for the dining is one of the best aspects of the pilgrimage to meet new people and enjoy the city. – There is a $50 Non-Refundable Registra-tion Fee. Many priests have attended this pilgrimage in the past. This amount will serve to help priests attend this pilgrimage. Many are edified to see so many priests in cassock, not only our own pilgrims, but also the local residents and religious com-munities. This powerful example shows that Tradition is alive and well!

Daily Schedule – Daily dawn procession at 5am. All pilgrims walk from your hotel to the Shrine

– Daily Mass at 8.30am

– Daily outing at 10.30am

Travel All pilgrims are to purchase their own

flights to Quito (UIO). Flights are available with several different airlines. Prices vary according to airlines and departure airports.

To complete the full novena, arrival date is January 23. These flights arrive close to midnight. This means if you plan on waking up for the procession the morning of the 24th, plan on only a few hours of sleep. Some arrive on the 22nd to avoid this great lack of sleep.

“This is the cheapest vacation I ever took out of the country. I was there 10 nights and I did not spend over $1000 and that in-cluded airfare and all meals”.

AccommodationsHotels that our pilgrims have used in the past

are: Hotel San Francisco de Quito, Hotel San Agustin, Hotel Catedral, and Hotel Vienna. These accommodations are not luxurious hotels but have always been used because they are in the Historic Center. These hotels are within walking distance to the Shrine. We have secured discount-ed rates for these hotels. If you wish to make res-ervations elsewhere, of course you are welcome to do so.

N.B. The days leading up to February 2 are very busy in Quito. There are many others besides ourselves who come to Quito for the Feast of Purification. Rooms can disappear fast!
