On June 24th, 1981, 2 girls (15 & 16 years old) claimed to have seen Our Lady on a hillside. The next day, they returned with other villagers and 6 children began having daily apparitions (read more here). Apparitions of Mary in Medjugorje are alleged to continue even today! Medjugorje has become a miraculous site where people from all over the world come together, find the "love of God," and leave filled with peace.
In June 2025, we will explore Medjugorje during the 44th Anniversary of the start of the apparitions. In addition to exploring Medjugorje and the surrounding area, we hope to join the annual Peace Walk (optional) from Humac to Medjugorje on the 24th, and to visit the Croatian coast.
Dates
We will stay 10 nights between June 21 - July 2, 2025 (+/- 1 day, dates to be finalized by March 2025).
Lodging
We will be staying with Dragan (Ivan's brother) and Haunita. This beautiful home is in a great location near the blue cross, the visionaries, and apparition hill. It is also an easy walk to St. James, Cross Mountain and other popular locations in Medjugorje (or take a short taxi from the house). Each of the 28 guest rooms are very clean, and have their own bathroom & shower. The pansion also has a large dining room where we'll share two meals per day.
Guide
Our professional local guide, Marija Pervan, will provide access to a wealth of information about all Medjugorje has to offer. Our guide also enables access to talks with the visionaries (when available), access to the orphanages, "The Castle," and to other sites that are not be easily accessible without a guide. While our guide will be available most days, you are also encouraged to spend time on your own too, this is an important part of a Medjugorje pilgrimage.
Cost
We are volunteer run, so cost will be kept to a minimum. The cost will be airfare ($??) + the ground costs ($800 double occupancy, per person). Airfare is estimated to be less than $1500, but won't be known until February. The pilgrimage includes: lodging, food (2 meals per day in Medjugorje), ground transportation, licensed local guide. It does NOT include trip insurance (Safe Travels Voyager).
