On June 24th 1981, in the quiet hills of Herzegovina, two young girls - Mirjana Dragicevic and Ivanka Ivankovic - encountered a radiant and deeply moving sight upon Crnica Hill. Before them stood a luminous woman clothed in white, gently holding a child in her arms. Overcome with awe and reverence, they withdrew, only to return the following day with four companions. Together, they would come to be known as the six visionaries, united by their encounters on what is now lovingly called Apparition Hill. In the days and years that followed, the visionaries have testified to continued encounters with the Blessed Virgin Mary, whom they know as Our Lady of Medjugorje. Through these experiences, they have shared messages calling the faithful to prayer, conversion, fasting, and peace, along with accounts of entrusted secrets and reflections on the life of Our Lady. Today, Medjugorje is often referred to as the “Lourdes of Bosnia,” a place of profound prayer and spiritual renewal. Each year, countless pilgrims journey there, seeking a deeper relationship with God, the grace of reconciliation, and the maternal guidance of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Daily Itinerary
Day 1, Saturday 19th September

UK - Croatia - Medjugorje

We fly from London Luton to Split. Upon arrival your guide and driver will be waiting to take you to your hotel in Medjugorje. The journey takes approximately two and a half hours, so sit back and relax and enjoy the beautiful panoramic view of the countryside and the Adriatic Sea. Continue our journey to Medjugorje and then dinner at the hotel.

Day 2, Sunday 20th September

Medjugorje - Apparition Hill in the afternoon

After breakfast, we meet with our guide and walk to St James Church where we will have our concelebrated Mass in English. Afterwards, we will have a guided walking tour of the Sanctuary and the surrounding area. We will have lunch and afterwards we go to the Apparition Hill where our guide will explain all the information you long to hear on Our Blessed Mother’s Apparitions. On our way down, we visit Vicka‘s old family house. She is one of the 6 visionaries and received many apparitions during her years here. Evening dinner at the hotel.

Day 3, Monday 21st September

Medjugorje - Cenacolo in the afternoon

Breakfast at the hotel. Mass at 10am in St James Church. Free time for the rest of morning and after lunch visit the community of Cenacolo. This was founded by Sister Elvera Petrozzi in 1991 to support young people recovering from addictions and to teach them the simple way of life, with faith in Jesus, and to straighten their paths in life. Taxi to Cenacolo not included approximately £2 each way (4 people sharing). Return to the hotel and evening dinner.

Day 4, Tuesday 22nd September

Today is your leisure day at the Sanctuary

Breakfast at the hotel. At 10am we attend concelebrated Mass in English at St James church. There are many Spiritual activities in Medjugorje and around the Sanctuary you can attend daily. Confessions are conducted throughout the day in many languages (Medjugorje is well known for this). Talks from one of the visionaries if they are available, Divine Mercy Prayer at 3pm will be in St James church, visit Risen Christ located at the back of the church and pray the Stations of the Cross here if you wish. We can also revisit the Apparition Hill and the Blue Cross where many of Our Lady’s apparitions and healings have taken place. Daily Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament is held at the open altar at the back of the church (we can attend this daily). For your lunch there are many restaurants and cafes to choose from, all at very reasonably priced as well as shops to browse through. Evening dinner at the hotel.

Day 5, Wednesday 23rd September

Medjugorje - Surmanci

After breakfast, we leave Medjugorje and drive to the village of Surmanci where we celebrate Mass in the Church of the Merciful Jesus. In the church there is a miraculous icon of Jesus of Mercy. This icon was in the Sanctuary of Divine Mercy in Trento where Ugo Festa was miraculously healed when he prayed before it. It also has a small relic of St Faustina. We return to Medjugorje and have lunch here. Free for the rest of today. Evening dinner at the hotel.

Day 6, Thursday 24th September

Medjugorje - Mt Krizevac - Cross Mountain

Breakfast at the hotel. At 10am we attend concelebrated Mass in English at St James church. Afterwards, our guide will walk with you to the foot of Mount Krizevac or take a taxi (cost not included £2 each way based on 4 people in a taxi), a kilometre away from the church and 520 metres above sea level. We pray the Stations of the Cross on the way up to the mountain. Please note that to go up the mountain you must be reasonably fit and be very careful as the mountain has rough rocks and stones to tackle. The Gigantic Cross you see up here was erected by local people in 1933 to commemorate the 1900th anniversary of our Jesus’ Crucifixion. Enjoy the view at the summit and relax before the descent. You can choose to walk or take a taxi back to the hotel. Taxi cost not included approximately £2 each way (4 people sharing). Evening dinner at the hotel.
