Our Lady of Knock & Medjugorje
Join Mater Dei ® on a wonderful pilgrimage to Ireland, Croatia and Bosnia & Herzegovina. The main purpose of our Marian Pilgrimage is to have a spiritual retreat focused in seeking the aid of Our Blessed Mother, asking her to provide us with her Son’s healing, interiorly as well as exteriorly. In addition to daily Masses, Rosaries and meditational talks, in a retreat-like atmosphere, we will also have healing services, begging Jesus, the greatest Doctor and Healer to accompany our pilgrims in all their spiritual and physical needs.
Enjoy 2 unforgettable pilgrimages in One, with prayer for healing and peace! Experience the legendary beauty of the Emerald Isle with the stunning beauty of old Dalmatia!
In Ireland, visit Monasterboyce, Drogheda, Hill of Slane, Sligo - Mass Rock, Marian Shrine of Knock, Westport, Croagh Patrick, Connemara National Park and more! Then travel through Croatia in order to cross into Herzegovina to visit Kravica Falls and Medjugorje!
The Vatican has cleared the way for True Catholic Pilgrimages to visit Medjugorje, and Mater Dei is answering the call! Since we love Mary, we will stay near Apparition Mountain at the peaceful and humble pilgrim accommodations served by Mirjana, one of the visionaries of Medjugorje. As with all Mater Dei pilgrimages, a solid spiritual program accompanies the pilgrimage. Daily Mass, Daily Rosary, Daily Chaplet, Daily Meditations/Talks, and more.
Come to Ireland & Medjugorje with Mater Dei!

Security note: Due to the recent acts of terrorism, Mater Dei has cancelled all Holy Land pilgrimages for most of 2024. Please pray for the innocent victims in Israel and Palestine. Please pray for the Christian community (which is mostly of Palestinian origin), which is caught in the middle of all this turmoil, especially those trapped in Gaza with nowhere to go (about 1000 Christians estimated). Please pray for our Holy Land staff and their families there. All are well so far! THANK YOU!
New trips will be announced as soon as possible. Remember. Mater Dei ® pilgrimages are True Catholic Pilgrimages like no other! They are worth the wait!
