Pilgrimage to Our Lady of Medjugorje

We fly from London 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. Note: depending on the time of arrival, it might be possible for the guide to take you to visit the Sanctuary and take advantage of limited time you have in Medjugorje as time is limited.(unless of course you would rather rest).

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. Special Note: Please note that 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 could be arranged 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). There are many restaurants to choose from, all very reasonably priced as well as shops to browse through. Evening dinner at the hotel.

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 ina 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.To participate in daily activities in the Sanctuary please read Day 3. Evening dinner at the hotel.

After breakfast, we might still have time to attend Mass in the morning and free time before we depart for the airport for our flight back to the UK. Note: This itinerary is subject to change. We are unable to guarantee the exact day to day order of the pilgrimage, and it may be possible that one or two places may have to be cancelled or closed owing to local circumstances beyond our control. The guide may change the order to ensure the smooth running of the pilgrimage. Masses will be arranged each day and venues will be confirmed according to availability. E&OE.
