Our Lady of Knock & Medjugorje
Join Fr. Brian Dulli, from the Diocese of Madison, WI, and Juan Landa from Mater Dei Tours, on this wonderful Marian Pilgrimage to Ireland and Bosnia & Herzegovina, with an emphasis on Prayer for Peace and Healing. We will travel to the gorgeous and historic Emerald Isle to visit Drogheda (to pray before the relics of St. Oliver Plunket), Hill of Slane (to pray at the place where the 1st Paschal Fire was ever lit by St. Patrick), Monasterboyce (home to some of the best kept and largest Celtic Crosses), Knock's Marian Shrine (to pray at the spot where The Blessed Virgin Mary, St. Joseph and St. John appeared along with the Lamb of God, right above an Altar), Tobernalt's Mass Rock (to attend Mass where the Irish attended Mass, hiding from the harsh persecutions of Catholics during the Penal Times), Croaghpatrick (to make a symbolic climb of this mountain, while praying the rosary), and Dublin filled with Irish history and culture! In Herzegovina, witness the beauty of Kravica Falls. The main purpose of our Marian Pilgrimage is to have an unforgettable spiritual retreat at Medjugorje, in Bosnia & Herzegovina, with an emphasis on Prayer for Peace and Healing. Visit St. James Parish Church, home to many spiritual events as well as some of the reported apparitions. We will climb Apparition Mountain, site of the first ever apparition in Medjugorje, Blue Cross (site of subsequent apparitions), Cross Mountain and many other sites associated with Medjugorje. We stay at the peaceful and humble pilgrim accommodations served by Mirjana (and her family), one of the visionaries of Medjugorje.
