Pilgrimage to Medjugorje

In June 1981, the Virgin Mary appeared as a vision to several schoolchildren in Medjugorje, a town located in the Herzegovina region of Bosnia and Herzegovina, since then, Catholics worldwide have made the pilgrimage to the site now known for its unique atmosphere of prayer and serenity as well as miraculous happenings. Join us to explore the the most important important pilgrimage centre in Europe and personally experience the devotion and faith found here. Daily English-speaking mass at St James Church and blessing of articles will be an integral part of the days, we will climb Apparition Hill, while reciting the Rosary, pausing five times for each decade of the Rosary and spend time in private prayer at the peak and site of the Visitation. We will also climb Climb Mt. Krizevac (Cross Mountain) where the pious villagers build a 30’ foot high cross in 1933 to commemorate the passion and death of Our Lord Jesus, this will bring a chance to pray the Stations of the Cross over fifteen pauses at each station. As dusk draws our group will join locals and fellow pilgrims to say the Rosary followed by an optional Croatian Mass and a Blessing of the Sick. Where available, we will arrange to visit the visionaries in their homes and hear firsthand their experiences. Other highlights will include a visit to the inspirational Community of Cenacolo, a Sisters of Mercy drug rehabilitation centre as well as prayer time at the miraculous Statue of the Risen Christ. A journey into Grace and Peace.
