Proposed Itinerary
Day 1: Depart USA - Board your overnight transatlantic flights from the USA. Meals are served on board.
Day 2: Arrive Medjugorje - Arrive in Dubrovnik (Split or Sarajevo) where you will be greeted by your tour guide and driver who will then take you on the 3 hour drive by private motorcoach to the village of Medjugorje. This guide will be with you throughout your stay in Medjugorje. Once there, you will have dinner and be introduced to your host family in who’s modern and comfortable house you will be staying for the next seven nights.
Day 3 to 8: Medjugorje - Experience the beauty and peace of this simple village. During your stay in Medjugorje you will have the opportunity to share faith with thousands of pilgrims from all over the world. Your local guide will accompany you throughout the week. Here are some of the activities you will be sharing with your fellow pilgrims: Each morning at 10am you assemble at St James Church for the English-language Mass (Feast days and Sundays English Mass is at Noon). 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 5pm (or 6pm daylight savings time) you will join the villagers and pilgrims to pray the rosary, and then stay on for Croatian Mass. The apparition takes place at 5:40pm (or 6:40 daylight savings time.) Don’t miss the Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament on Saturday, and the Veneration of the Cross in the Church on Fridays. Each evening during Croatian Mass, there is the Blessing of the Sick and blessing of the religious items you have with you.
Your guide will arrange meetings with the visionaries as they are available. You will have the opportunity to climb Krizevac Mountain, where in 1933 the villagers built a 30' high cross on the 1900th 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.
Day 9: Medjugorje - USA - After an early breakfast and heartfelt farewells, you will leave by motorcoach for Dubrovnik Airport (Spilt or Sarajevo) for your return flights home.
