Climb Apparition Hill: This rocky hill is where the visionaries first encountered Our Lady. At the base of this hill is a Blue Cross, where it is said Our Lady also appeared to the children while they hid from the Communist police in the early days of the alleged apparitions. When climbing, you may pray the Rosary, pausing at the beautiful bronze stations for each decade of the Rosary. At the top of the hill, you will reach the exact location of the first alleged apparition of Our Lady to the visionaries, and enjoy private time in prayer.

Climb Mt. Krizevac (Cross Mountain): In 1933, the villagers built a 30' high cross atop a mountain to commemorate Jesus' passion and death on the cross. You will have the opportunity to climb this mountain, and venerate that very cross. When climbing, you may to pray the Stations of the Cross, pausing to meditate on Jesus' suffering at each of the fifteen bronze stations.

Daily Apparitions: Each evening 5:00 PM, your group will join the villagers and fellow pilgrims of Medjugorje in praying the Rosary, at St. James Church, as all anxiously await the alleged arrival of Our Lady to the visionaries at 5:40 PM. After the rosary the International Mass begins at 6:00 PM.

Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament: Our Lady is always calling us to draw close to her Son. You will have the opportunity to adore the Blessed Sacrament at the outside altar of St. James Church following the International Mass on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

Meetings with the Visionaries: Pending their availability, your guide may arrange meetings with the visionaries.

Community of Cenacolo: You will have the opportunity to visit the community of Cenacolo, founded by a Sister of Charity, Mother Elvira. It's here that young men and women who have taken wrong paths are on the road to recovery. You will hear some inspirational testimonies about their journeys to Jesus Christ.

Prayer at the Statue of the Risen Christ: Located on the grounds of St. James Church is the bronze statue of the Risen Christ. Many pilgrims sit and pray on the benches surrounding this peaceful statue. This statue miraculously seeps droplets of water at random times of the day, out of Christ's right knee.
