The story of Medjugorje begins on June 24, 1981, when six teenagers reported that they had encountered the Blessed Virgin Mary on a hillside near the village. The children described the Lady as being very young and indescribably beautiful, possessing dark hair and blue eyes. Dressed in gray and white, she wore a white veil with an arc of stars appearing above her head. On the third day of the apparitions, the teenagers asked who she was, and the lady replied,
“I am
the Blessed Virgin Mary.”

MEDJUGORJE
During our stay in peaceful Medjugorje, we will meet and share our faith with thousands of pilgrims from all over the world.
Each morning at 10, we will assemble at St. James Church for the English language Mass.
Our local guide will accompany us during our stay as we follow the same path up the Apparition Hill where the young visionaries first encountered Our Lady.
Contemplate the inspired artistry of the bronze plaques depicting each mystery of the rosary as we climb Podbrdo Hill.
Touch and pray before the cross, commemorating the spot where Mary appeared to the visionaries. We will see from afar and then climb Krizevac Mountain, where in 1933 the villagers built a 30’ high cross on the anniversary of Jesus’ crucifixion. Today wooden crosses and bronze images line the path up the hill, representing the Stations of the Cross.
Our guide will arrange a meeting with one of the visionaries in front of their own homes or at a public place (subject to their schedule and health).
In the evening, we can join the villagers and pilgrims for the evening Croatian Mass and the blessing of the sick.
We will spend time in prayer and meditation at the most peaceful place where our Blessed Mother first appeared to the children.
