Sample Day-by-Day
Itinerary:
Day 1 - Depart USA
Board your overnight transatlantic
flights from your home town. Meals are served on board.
Day 2 - Arrive Medjugorje
After an early morning arrival in
Frankfurt (Munich or Vienna) you will connect flights to
Dubrovnik (Split
or Sarajevo). Upon
arrival, you'll be greeted by a tour guide and/or driver who
will then take you on the 2 1/2 hour drive by private coach
to the village of Medjugorje. Guide will be with your
throughout your stay. Once there,
you'll meet your fellow pilgrims and your spiritual leader
and be introduced to your host family in whose comfortable
yet modest house (inn) you will be staying for the next
seven nights.
Days 3 to 7 - 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, 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 community of Cenacolo.
Day 8 -
Medjugorje - USA
After an early breakfast and heartfelt
farewells, we leave by motor coach for Dubrovnik Airport
(Split or Sarajevo) for return flights home.
