Dear All in Christ,
We are happy to announce that our Mission’s annual pilgrimage took place from 28th October 2024 to 1st November 2024 to Medjugorje: A Spiritual Heaven. We thank all parishioners who joined us and those who have prayed for us for this unique and transformative experience.
Medjugorje, a small village nestled in the heart of Bosnia and Herzegovina, has become a global pilgrimage site renowned for its apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Since 1981, six young visionaries have reported seeing Mother Mary on Apparition Hill, sharing messages of peace and prayer.
The spiritual atmosphere of Medjugorje is palpable, drawing countless pilgrims from around the world each year. The village offers a variety of opportunities for spiritual growth, including daily Mass, adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, confession, and prayer groups. Visitors can also climb Apparition Hill, visit the Church of St. James, or participate in organized pilgrimages and retreats.

The seer Marija of #Medjugorje: “Already in the first days of the apparitions, the Madonna told us that Heaven, purgatory and hell exists. Then he physically took Jakov and Vicka to these places. Instead, we saw them as looking out of a window. Heaven is like a big space with lots of people dressed in pastel-colored Roman tunics and felt like in an ecstasy of joy, gratitude and prayer. Our Lady told us that people went to Heaven because they accepted God’s will throughout their lives and now they know God and His will more and more. Showing the purgatory, the Virgin said that the people there were undecided: one moment they believed, then they didn’t. We saw like a fog, of clouds and heard shouts, of voices asking for our prayers. Now these people believe deeply in God and their suffering is more spiritual, because they would like to go to God but they cannot. Our Lady recommended to pray for the souls in purgatory, to offer holy masses and sacrifices, so that they can reach God soon. Then we saw hell, where there was a fire and people entered that fire and transformed into beasts. Our Lady said that God gave us freedom and so some chose evil, lived in sin and therefore went to hell. Our Lady said that we can no longer do anything for them, but that we have to pray for sinners to convert while they are alive, because after that it will be too late. ”
