Within minutes walk of the Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima, the Domus Pacis provides accommodation in Fátima for visitors and pilgrims on their spiritual journey to this small town which was blessed with the apparitions of Our Lady in 1917. Although it is near to the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary of Fatima and the Chapel of Apparitions, the Domus Pacis is slightly isolated from all of the hustle and bustle of the crowds of pilgrims, providing the peace and quiet that you needs to reflect and pray while on pilgrimage. The Domus Pacis (House of Peace) is also the head quarters of the International Center of the World Apostolate of Fátima, a public international association of the faithful that has been approved by the Holy See and is popularly referred to as the Blue Army. There are 2 catholic chapels where you can go to mass; the Latin Chapel which holds services of the western rite, and the Byzantine Chapel which holds services of the eastern rite. The Byzantine Chapel is a sight in itself, as it has a beautiful onion-shaped dome and a replica of the Icon of Kazan, a holy image venerated in Russia. While staying at the Domus Pacis Blue Army, you can eat breakfast, lunch and dinner with other pilgrims in the restaurant or enjoy a refreshing drink and a chat at the Domus Pacis' bar and coffee shop. There is also a multilingual library and a shop selling gifts, rosaries and and other devotional aids so as to always remember your trip. There is also a PC with internet access in the lobby and wireless internet access as well as state-of-the-art conference facilities.
