A perceived supernatural religious phenomenon has become a reality for millions throughout the world. For more than 25 years, the Blessed Virgin Mary has appeared at the quiet, rural village of Medjugorje in Bosnia-Herzegovina. This unprecedented series of apparitions to six youths, and later by inner locution to two more young girls, began in June 1981. It continues to the present, with one overriding objective: To bring the world back to God. In the history of the Roman Catholic Church, the Blessed Virgin Mary has appeared in apparition many times throughout the ages, the most recognizable names being Guadalupe (Mexico), La Sallette, and Lourdes (France), Knock (Ireland) and Fatima (Portugal). But never in recorded Marian history has she appeared daily for so long a period of time, to so many chosen visionaries, with such profound global results.
On June 24, 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. 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." Many pilgrims return claiming to have acquired a new peace and to have experienced spirituality like they have never felt before. For those of you who have never been to Medjugorje, you will experience one of the most spiritual places on earth.

Follow the same path up Apparition Hill where the young 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 each evening we will join the villagers and pilgrims to pray the rosary. Each evening at 6:40pm be present in the church when the apparitions occur. Each evening a Croatian Mass, and the Blessing of the Sick. 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. We will visit the community of Cenacolo. Additionally, during our trip we will enjoy talks by Wayne Weible.
