Ever since the disappearance of their daughters, both Kate and Gerry McCann have attended church nearly every day reported Retuers. Faith is very important said the spokesman to reporters and the visit to the Shrine has been described as profoundly moving and spiritual important.
"Their faith is very, very important for them and this was a profoundly moving and important spiritual visit for them at this time," a spokesman for the McCann family told Retuers.
Both parents visited the shrine of Fatima, located just north of Lisbon, which has become a focus of prayers for their missing daughter, reported the Trinity Mirror Southern. The shrine is the site of a series of visions of the Virgin Mary to three shepherd children, including two young girls, in 1917.
