On June 25, 1981, in a small village in Bosnia-Herzegovina, the Blessed Virgin Mary began appearing to six young teenagers on Mount Podbrdo, now known as Apparition Hill. Our Lady has continued to appear to this day to give messages of hope and peace for the world.
Deacon Scott Aiken will lead us on this amazing journey, helping us to understand and make the most of our pilgrimage.
This will be a true pilgrimage. The focus will be on our spiritual journey as individuals and as a Catholic family experiencing Medjugorje together. Be prepared to be flexible. We will be on God's plan and time table.
Daily confession, mass and adoration at the Church of St. James the Greater will available to us, and mass will also be offered on our day trips to other local sites of spiritual importance.
Medjugorje involves a lot of walking. Hiking up Apparition Hill and Cross Mountain requires navigating rocky terrain; it's imperative that you are deliberate in each step you take. Access to St. James, the Statue of the Risen Christ and the prayer gardens is by easy paths and sidewalks.
Local guides will lead us in a better understanding of our faith as we experience Apparition Hill, Cross Mountain, Medjugorje and the surrounding area.
In Medjugorje, times takes on a different meaning.
