Experience the Grace of Our Lady's Presence
A Medjugorje pilgrimage is a Catholic journey to the Marian shrine in Bosnia and Herzegovina where the Virgin Mary first appeared on June 24, 1981 and continues to appear to Catholic visionaries. Unlike other Christian spiritual journeys, Medjugorje pilgrimages include essential sacramental elements of the Catholic faith: daily Mass celebrated by an accompanying Catholic priest, opportunity for the Sacrament of Confession, Eucharistic Adoration, praying the Holy Rosary at the sacred sites, and Catholic spiritual direction.
Catholic pilgrims visit Apparition Hill (Podbrdo) where the first Marian apparition occurred, climb Cross Mountain (Krizevac) praying the Stations of the Cross, and participate at St. James Church in daily Masses and Catholic evening community prayer programs including the Rosary, testimonies and blessing with the Blessed Sacrament. This journey to Medjugorje offers a transformative experience of faith and spiritual renewal.
A profound Catholic spiritual journey to the sacred place where Our Lady continues to appear. With daily Mass celebrated by accompanying priest.

The center of worship in Medjugorje, St. James Church hosts daily Masses in multiple languages and evening programs that draw thousands of pilgrims from around the world. Built in the 1960s, this modern church has become the spiritual heart of the pilgrimage site.
The church serves as the focal point for the parish's spiritual activities and has been the gathering place for pilgrims since the apparitions began in 1981, hosting countless prayer services, healings, and moments of profound spiritual transformation.
Climb the sacred hill where Our Lady first appeared to the visionaries in 1981. Join pilgrims from around the world as you pray the Rosary while ascending the rocky path, stopping at bronze reliefs depicting the mysteries of the Rosary.
Experience moments of profound prayer and reflection at the Blue Cross at the base of the hill, a special place of peace where many continue to receive spiritual graces. Many pilgrims report feeling an overwhelming sense of peace and Our Lady's presence in this sacred place.
This is the exact location where the Virgin Mary first appeared to six young visionaries on June 25, 1981. The hill, known locally as Podbrdo, has since become one of the most sacred places in the Catholic world, drawing millions of pilgrims seeking spiritual renewal.
The rocky path to the apparition site symbolizes the spiritual journey of conversion that Our Lady calls all her children to embrace. The bronze reliefs of the mysteries of the Rosary were added to help pilgrims meditate on the life of Christ as they climb.
Join pilgrims in praying the Stations of the Cross as you ascend Mount Krizevac, crowned with the famous concrete cross built in 1933. The challenging climb becomes a spiritual journey of penance and meditation on Christ's passion.
Many pilgrims choose to climb barefoot as an act of penance, especially on Fridays. The bronze reliefs marking each station provide opportunities for deep reflection on Christ's sacrifice and Our Lady's role in our salvation.
The massive concrete cross atop Mount Krizevac was built in 1933 to commemorate the 1900th anniversary of Jesus's passion and death. Standing 8.5 meters tall, it has become a beacon of faith visible from throughout the valley.
The mountain's steep path includes bronze reliefs of the Stations of the Cross, installed to help pilgrims meditate on Christ's passion. Since the apparitions began, many miraculous phenomena have been reported on this mountain, including the spinning of the sun and changes in the cross's appearance.

The evening prayer program has been the spiritual centerpiece of Medjugorje since the early days of the apparitions. Beginning with the Rosary at 6 PM, followed by Holy Mass, and often including Eucharistic Adoration, these programs have remained consistent for over 40 years.
These evening gatherings embody Our Lady's messages of prayer, conversion, and peace. Pilgrims often describe these moments as life-changing, experiencing deep spiritual healing and renewed faith in the presence of the international community of believers.
