Pilgrimage to Kibeho, Rwanda August 13 - 24, 2026

August 2026 Pilgrimage with Immaculée in Rwanda 

August 13 - 24, 2026  

Join Immaculée in experiencing the blessings and beauty of Kibeho, Rwanda.  This rural community is the site of the only Vatican-approved Marian apparition site on the African continent. Nestled in the hills of Rwanda, this pristine and serene location is unlike any other place of worship on Earth. 

In addition to spending multiple days in Kibeho, Immaculée arranges other spiritual, historical, and cultural experiences only a Rwandan can provide.  This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.               

Day 1: DEPARTURES (Thursday, August 13)

Departures from North America 

Day 2: ARRIVE RWANDA (Friday, Aug. 14)

Our Team will meet you in the Kigali Airport and transport you to Blue Veil Villa-Kigali, a four-star, freshly remodeled boutique hotel and pilgrimage center. This facility is located within one of the finest neighborhoods in the capital. After settling into your guest room, pilgrims are welcome to join Immaculée for a late dinner and fellowship. 

Day 3: KIBEHO (Saturday, Aug. 15)

This morning (and every morning) starts with Mass and Rosary prayer, followed by breakfast. We will then depart for Kibeho to join thousands of Rwandans in celebrating the Feast of the Assumption.

While in Kibeho, we will pray at the Shrine of Our Lady of Sorrows, attend daily Mass, participate in daily group discussion and enjoy the many blessings of this serene community.  We will take a day trip to Nyanza, the home of the King's Palace and the National Museum in Hoye. These visits will provide a profound glimpse into Rwanda's rich cultural heritage.

 Day 10: WEDDING DAY (Saturday, Aug. 22)
