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.
Dates
We will spend for 11 nights in Medjugorje, departing June 12; arriving back at home on June 24, 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 an easy walk to St. James, Cross Mountain and other popular locations in Medjugorje, too (or take a short taxi directly 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 2 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 $1400, but won't be known until around March 2025. The pilgrimage includes: lodging, food (2 meals per day in Medjugorje), ground transportation, licensed local guide. It does NOT include trip insurance (e.g: Safe Travels Voyager).
