Day 1, Thu, Sep 20, 2012: Depart Baltimore to Split Croatia
Board your overnight transatlantic flights from your home town. Meals are served on board.
Day 2, Fri, Sep 21, 2012: Travel day - late arrival in Medjugorje
After an early morning arrival in Frankfurt you will connect flights to Split. 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, Sat to Wed, Sep 22 - 26, 2011: 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. Our local guide will accompany us throughout your stay.
Here are some of the activities you'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 6pm, we will join the villagers and pilgrims to pray the rosary. The apparition takes place at 6:40, and then stay on for Croatian Mass. Don't miss on Tuesdays 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 also visit the community of Cenacolo.
Day 8, Thu, Sep 27, 2011: Medjugorje - Dubrovnik
After breakfast, we will depart for Dubrovnik, also known as "The Pearl of the Adriatic". While visiting the old town you may want to visit St. Blaze Church and take a walk through one of the most impressive fifteen century towns. Dubrovnik was a major maritime power from the 13th century towards, abounds cultural and historical treasures. You may in addition want to visit the Dominican and Franciscan Monasteries, two of Europe’s most impressive churches. The Dominican Monastery is an exemplary monument to the Gothic tradition, and houses Europe’s third oldest pharmacy. Its Franciscan counterpart dates back to the early 13th century, and has miraculously weathered the sieges and earthquakes of ages. Dinner and overnight.
Day 9, Fri, Sep 28, 2012: Dubrovnik – Frankfurt – Baltimore
We bid heartfelt farewell to our pilgrimage and beautiful Croatia as we board our flight to Frankfurt there we will connect for our fight home.
