Since June 1981 Our Lady has said to be appearing on a daily basis to six village children, giving countless messages to them. Healings, miracles and conversions – these have been occurring for so long. Endless streams of pilgrims over the years have come to receive these graces and return to their homelands renewed.
Dubrovnik (1 Night) • Medjugorje (6) • Optional Post-tour to the Oberammergau Passion Play (2)
Welcome to Dubrovnik, the ‘Pearl of the Adriatic’. Join with fellow pilgrims this evening for a Welcome Dinner.
Within the stone walls of Dubrovnik’s Old City, we begin our guided tour of this awe-inspiring town. Visit the Basilica of St Blaise where we celebrate Mass before setting out on our exploration of grand palaces, buzzing plazas and remarkable churches.
Prepare for a most extraordinary encounter of grace and peace for the next five days as we make our way to the village of Medjugorje.
The activities here will be evenly proportioned by our guide throughout our stay to allow time for rest and personal retreat. Each evening we will be advised of the following day’s agenda, as many events in Medjugorje are spontaneous. Here are some of the highlights we hope to include:
+ Meet the Visionaries:
The visionaries regularly receive groups, give explanations, pray with and answer pilgrims’ questions (subject to spontaneous availability).
+ The Hill of Apparitions:
Make the journey in prayer up to this sacred site where it is reported that first apparitions took place and Our Lady first told the children ‘I have come to tell the world that God exists… that peace is necessary for the salvation of the world’.
+ Climb Mt Krizevac:
The Mountain of the Cross dominates the landscape. Pray the Stations of the Cross and ascend the grace-filled path, which rises to the breathtaking summit with its commanding 30-foot cement cross built in 1933.
+ Visit the Cenacolo Community:
‘Field of Life’ is the name of the community that Sr Elvira has founded for young men who were once drug addicts. We will be touched to hear their miraculous testimonies of faith.
+ Special visionary events:
Eg. Join Ivan’s prayer group during a special outdoor apparition or be present when Vicka has a special meeting at night on Mt Krizevac (subject to availability).
+ Inspiring talks:
There is an enriching Franciscan talk most afternoons in English.
+ Share occasional group gatherings:
Optional and led by your Priest, for voluntary sharing, prayer or group rosary.
+ Enjoy personal free time daily:
All activities listed do remain optional.
Our pilgrimage comes to an end this morning after breakfast.
