MEDJUGORJE

A perceived supernatural religious phenomenon has become a reality for millions throughout the world.   For more than 25 years, the Blessed Virgin Mary has appeared at the quiet, rural village of Medjugorje in Bosnia-Herzegovina. This unprecedented series of apparitions to six youths, and later by inner locution to two more young girls, began in June 1981. It continues to the present, with one overriding objective: To bring the world back to God.   In the history of the Roman Catholic Church, the Blessed Virgin Mary has appeared in apparition many times throughout the ages, the most recognizable names being Guadalupe (Mexico), La Sallette, and Lourdes (France), Knock (Ireland) and Fatima (Portugal). But never in recorded Marian history has she appeared daily for so long a period of time, to so many chosen visionaries, with such profound global results.

On June 24, 1981, in the mountain village of Medjugorje in Herzegovina, Our Lady appeared to six children. She identified herself as the Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen of Peace. Her mission is to promote peace with God and mankind, through her Son, Jesus. Mary's own words to the children explained, "I have come to tell the world that God exists." Many pilgrims return claiming to have acquired a new peace and to have experienced spirituality like they have never felt before. For those of you who have never been to Medjugorje, you will experience one of the most spiritual places on earth.

Days 3 to 8 - Medjugorje 

Experience the beauty and peace of this simple village. During your stay in Medjugorje you will have the opportunity to share our faith with thousands of pilgrims from all over the world. Our local guide will accompany us throughout the week. Here are some of the activities we'll be sharing with our fellow pilgrims: Each morning at 10am we assemble at St James Church for the English-language Mass. Follow the same path up Apparition Hill where the young visionaries first encountered Our Lady. Touch and pray before the cross that commemorates the spot where Mary first appeared to the visionaries. Each evening at 6pm each evening we will join the villagers and pilgrims to pray the rosary. Each evening at 6:40pm be present in the church when the apparitions occur. Each evening a Croatian Mass, and the Blessing of the Sick. Our guide will arrange meetings with the visionaries at their own homes provided that they are in Medjugorje during your trip, and pending their availability. We will have the opportunity to climb Krizevac Mountain, where in 1933 the villagers built a 30' high cross on the anniversary of Jesus' crucifixion. Visit and pray at "Blue Cross", which is a place of great healings and graces. We will visit the Oasis of Peace, which has an incredible 24-hour Adoration Chapel. We will visit the community of Cenacolo. Visit Father Jozo's parish and attend his highly inspirational talk, and receive his powerful healing blessing. When the apparitions began in 1981, Father Jozo was the pastor of St James parish, and is considered by many to be one of the highlights of any pilgrimage to Medjugorje. Of course, visit is contingent upon his schedule.  Additionally, during our trip we will enjoy talks by Wayne Weible.
 

Day 9 - Medjugorje - Split, Dubrovnik or Sarajevo - USA     

 After an early breakfast and heartfelt farewells, we leave by motor coach for Split Airport for return flight home.
