About Our Pilgrimages

For those of you who have never been to Medjugorje, you will experience one of the most spiritual, and peaceful places on earth. One of the best descriptions of Medjugorje we have ever heard is: "Medjugorje is a place where Heaven touches the earth". After visiting Medjugorje we are sure you will agree.

Why go with us? Together we have taken almost 10,000 pilgrims to Medjugorje since 1983. We specialize in small groups so each pilgrimage will be a special and personal experience. We use expert licensed local guides that are with you every day of your pilgrimage. And while we have a full schedule planned, you still have personal time, which is so important on a pilgrimage.

We will take the worry out of traveling and allow you to relax and focus on what Jesus and Our Lady have planned for you. This pilgrimage is your pilgrimage and a journey with Our Lady and we are here to do our absolute best to show you the Medjugorje that we know and love.

The visionaries in Medjugorje tell us that no one goes to Medjugorje by accident. We are called individually by Our Lady. What an awesome thought! If you feel called to go to Medjugorje then answer Our Lady's invitation! Traveling to Medjugorje is truly a life changing experience, and one that you will remember for the rest of your life!

Next, we will travel to the town of Malinska, on Krk Island, in the northern Adriatic Sea of Croatia, where you will attend a 3 day retreat with Fr. Zlatko Sudac, a Croatian stigmatist priest, whose stigmata is in the form of a cross on his forehead and the wounds of Christ on his body. Fr. Sudac received the cross on his forehead in May 1999, 11 months after his ordination, and the rest of the wounds in October 2000. As anyone who has ever encountered Fr. Sudac can attest, an encounter with him is a powerful and life-changing experience. Though he has many gifts of the Holy Spirit, one of his greatest gifts is the gift of preaching, through which it is always his intention to lead souls deeper into the heart of Christ and the Church. Finally, pilgrims will end their journey with an overnight stay in the capital city, Zagreb, where you will experience the beginning of Christmas celebrations in Croatia by exploring the sights, sounds and scents of Croatia’s most famous Christmas market, taking place just steps away from our hotel in the main square of the city. As you meander from stall to stall exploring all that the Christmas market has to offer and as you try new and festive foods and beverages, you will receive a new understanding of Croatian culture and its people. This will be a wonderful, relaxing and festive way to end this powerful pilgrimage journey in Croatia.

You will be staying in her home for the next six nights.

Our local guide Snjezana will accompany you throughout the week, and will help plan your daily activities. Each evening at dinner, the schedule for the following day will be posted in the dining room. Just some of the activities you will enjoy throughout the week are:

English Mass each morning at 10am at St James Church. On Feast days and Sundays English Mass is at Noon. At 6pm each evening we will join local villagers and pilgrims to pray the Joyful and Sorrowful Mysteries of the Rosary. Be present in the church during the time of the apparitions at 6:40pm (5:40pm Sep 10-May 1) (although the visionaries are not present) and then stay for Croatian Mass and the Blessing of the Sick. On Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays there is Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and on Fridays Veneration of the Cross in the church.

You will follow the same path up Apparition Hill where the young visionaries first encountered Our Lady, and pray at the statue which commemorates the spot where Our Lady first appeared to the visionaries. You will also visit and pray at "Blue Cross", which is a very special place at the base of Apparition Hill where the visionaries would meet in the early days of the apparitions to avoid the Communist police. You will have the opportunity to climb Mt. Krizevac (Cross Mountain), where in 1933 the villagers built a 29' high cross on the anniversary of Jesus' crucifixion. This Cross contains a relic from the True Cross of Christ given to the villagers by the Pope.
