A pilgrim is one who, even without knowing it, hears the voice of their soul and goes to meet the Father in the sacred places that He has blessed and consecrated as Sources of Life for all beings.

Indoor area can shelter 300 people
The Marian Center of Figueira carried out the expansion of the Pilgrim’s House, to offer better attention to all pilgrims that come to the place to be in prayer with the Divine Messengers.
It is the first part of a project that includes improvements to receive about 2,000 devotees. The current facilities have the capacity to shelter about 300 people, according to Friar Agustín, of Grace Mercy Order and the coordinator of the Marian Center of Figueira.
Contemplation of the Reliquary of Saint Joseph
The sheltered area of the place changed from 70 square meters to 300 square meters. The facility can currently shelter some 300 people indoors. The construction used a structure of eucalyptus, to maintain harmony with the natural surroundings, as explained by the engineer Marcelo Alves, responsible for the execution of the construction.
In the closed area is now active a chapel, where the Reliquary of Saint Joseph is exposed. The place opens daily in the following hours: from Monday to Thursday, from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.; Saturdays and Sundays, from 6 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.
On Fridays, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. is held the Contemplation of the Reliquary of Saint Joseph, a spiritual exercise open to all those interested. Later, at 7 p.m., the Reparative Ecumenical Communion takes place.
An entrance door for the pilgrim
Natural surroundings of the Pilgrim’s House
The Pilgrim’s House is the entrance door to the Marian Center of Figueira and receives the spiritual protection of Saint Joseph. The groups that participate in the pilgrimages organized by the Marian Center arrive there. They visit the sacred points and participate in liturgical activities.
The program is renewed in each pilgrimage, but it always includes some of the following sacred spaces: The Hill of Apparitions (location of the House of Mary Immaculate Peace, the Hermitage of the Glorified Christ, the Fountain of Saint Joseph, the Blue Cross of Emmanuel, the Portal of Peace and the Belfry of Peace), the Wood of Harmony (area of inner connection with the Indigenous Consciousness, which includes the Oca/Hut of Vigil) and the ponds.
The construction, expansion, and improvements of all the infrastructure of the Marian Center of Figueira are carried out through spontaneous donations.
At the moment, the second stage of the project of expansion of the Pilgrim’s House is in progress. Those who wish to collaborate with this undertaking can have additional information

I want the House of the Pilgrim to be sufficiently large to give shelter to souls, their miseries and their sins, and also sufficiently large to shelter God, His Mercy and His Atonement.
You cannot imagine that in this humble place the Creator will heal and awaken many hearts; He will convert sinners into His instruments and will make so great spiritual miracles in those consciousnesses as He did in Me
