MEDJUGORJE PILGRIMAGE 2018


May 29 - June 7, 2018



The Church of St. James the Apostle is 
the symbol and heart of the Parish of Medjugorje.

The Statue of Our Lady at the top of 
Apparition Hill is where Our Lady first appeared 
to six children in 1981. 
Pilgrims climb the steep, rocky path 
that leads to the apparition site.

The Blue Cross at the foot of Apparition Hill 
is where Our Lady appears monthly to 
visionary Mirjana. 
Pilgrims are invited to be present at 
the apparition.

Message of Our Lady of Medjugorje, Queen of Peace, through the visionary Mirjana Dragicevic-Soldo. (June 2, 2018)

"Dear children, I am calling you to accept my words which I am speaking to you as a mother, with a simplicity of heart, so that you may set out on the way of complete light and purity, of the singular love of my Son, man and God.
A joy -- a light indescribable in human words -- will penetrate your soul and the peace and love of my Son will take hold of you. I desire this for all of my children.
Therefore, you, apostles of my love, you who know how to love and forgive, you who do not judge, you whom I encourage, you be an example to all those who are not going on the way of light and love or who have diverted from it.
By your life show them the truth. Show them love because love overcomes all difficulties, and all of my children thirst for love.
Your unity in love is a gift to my Son and me. But, my children, remember that to love also means to desire the good for your neighbor and to desire conversion of your neighbor's soul.
As I am looking at you gathered around me, my heart is sad, because I see so little brotherly love, merciful love.
My children, the Eucharist -- my Son alive among you -- His words will help you comprehend, because His word is life, His word makes the soul breathe, His word brings about cognition of love.
Dear children, anew, I am imploring you as a mother who desires the good for her children: love your shepherds, pray for them.
Thank you."

The Cross at the top of Cross Mountain is 
embedded with relics of the True Cross. 
Climbing the mountain, 
pilgrims partake in the Stations of the Cross.

Many wonder... is Medjugorje true? 
Is Medjugorje approved by the Church?
What does the Catholic Church say 
about Medjugorje?


On May 14, 2019 (Mother's Day), on the eve of the first Marian apparition at Fatima, Pope Francis officially declared that diocesan pilgrimages to Medjugorje are approved by the Catholic Church.
