On June 25, 1981,
in the mountain village of Medjugorje in Herzegovina, Our Lady
appeared to six children. She identified herself as the Blessed
Virgin Mary, Queen of Peace, and continues to appear to the young
people daily. Her mission is to promote peace with God and mankind,
through her Son, Jesus. Mary's own words to the children explained,
"I have come to tell the world that God exists." 206 Tours has been
arranging pilgrimages to Medjugorje since 1985. We have assisted
over 250,000 people on their journey to Medjugorje many claiming to
be at such peace, to have experienced spirituality like they have
never felt before.

Days 3 to 8
- Medjugorje
Experience the beauty and peace of this simple
village. During your stay in Medjugorje you will have the
opportunity to share faith with pilgrims from all over the world.
Here are some of the activities we'll be sharing
with our fellow pilgrims: Each morning at 10am we assemble at St
James Church for the English-language Mass (Feast
days and Sundays English Mass is at Noon).
Follow the path up Apparition Hill where the visionaries first
encountered Our Lady. Touch and pray before the cross that
commemorates the spot where Mary first appeared to the visionaries.
Each evening at 5pm or 6pm daylight savings time,
we will join the villagers and pilgrims to pray the rosary. The
apparition takes place at 5:40pm
or 6:40 daylight savings time, (visionaries may not be present)
and then stay on for Croatian Mass. Don't miss on Thursdays and
Saturdays Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and on Fridays
Veneration of the Cross in the Church.
Each evening during Croatian Mass, there is the Blessing of the Sick
and blessing of the items you have with you.
Our guide will arrange meetings with the
visionaries at their own homes provided that they are in Medjugorje
during your trip, and pending their availability. We will have the
opportunity to climb Krizevac Mountain, where in 1933 the villagers
built a 30' high cross on the anniversary of Jesus' crucifixion.
Visit and pray at "Blue Cross", which is a place of great healings
and graces- a very special place at
the base of Apparition Hill.
We will visit the Oasis of Peace, which has an
incredible 24-hour Adoration Chapel. We will visit the community of
Cenacolo.
Visit Father Jozo's parish and attend his highly
inspirational talk, and receive his powerful healing blessing. When
the apparitions began in 1981, Father Jozo was the pastor of St
James parish, and is considered by many to be one of the highlights
of any pilgrimage to Medjugorje. Of course, visit is contingent upon
his schedule.
Day 9 - Medjugorje -
USA
After an early breakfast and heartfelt farewells,
we leave by motor coach for Dubrovnik Airport (Spilt or Sarajevo)
