Medjugorje Pilgrimage 2024 & Rome Pilgrimage Tour

(3 Reviews)
Medjugorje pilgrimage and Rome pilgrimage into one tour!

Our Medjugorje Rome Pilgrimage Tour combines two of our most popular Catholic Pilgrimage tour destinations. Starting in Rome, the Eternal City, you will visit St. Peter’s Basilica, the largest Church in Christendom built over the burial place of St. Peter. Here you celebrate Mass in the final resting place of many former Popes and Saints. During the Medjugorje Rome Pilgrimage Tour, you will also visit the Vatican Museum which showcases the works of the world’s most renowned artists, including the magnificent ceiling of the Sistine Chapel and Michelangelo’s masterpiece, The Last Judgement. During the Medjugorje Rome Pilgrimage Tour, you will visit the Basilica of St. John Lateran, the Cathedral of Rome, the Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls, the burial place of St. Paul, and the Basilica of St. Mary Major, the largest church in the world dedicated to the Virgin Mary. A highlight of the Medjugorje Rome Pilgrimage Tour is receiving a Papal Blessing and Audience with the Pope in St. Peter’s Square if he is in Residence. In Medjugorje, the peaceful village where the Virgin Mary has been appearing since 1981, you will attend Mass in English every morning and pray the Rosary every evening with other pilgrims from around the globe at St. James Church. Climb Apparition Hill and pray at the very spot where Our Lady first appeared, and hike to the large Cross at the top of Mount Krisevac, praying at the Stations of the Cross along the way. You will have the chance to visit with any of the Visionaries that are in the village and hear firsthand about their experience and the messages they receive from the Blessed Mother.  Go ahead and book the Medjugorje Rome Pilgrimage now for 2024 or 2025!

During your stay, you will have the opportunity to share your faith with pilgrims from all over the world.

Here are some of the activities you will have the opportunity to experience:
Each morning at 10:00 am we assemble at St. James Church for the English language Mass (On feast days and Sundays English Mass is at noon). Follow the path up Apparition Hill where the visionaries first encountered Our Lady. Touch and pray before the cross that commemorates the spot where Mary first appeared to the visionaries. Visit and pray at “The Blue Cross,” which is a place of great healing and graces, at the base of Apparition Hill. Each evening at 5:00 pm (6:00 pm daylight savings time) we will join the villagers and pilgrims to pray the rosary. The apparition takes place at 5:40 pm (6:40 pm during daylight savings time) followed by the Croatian Mass, where there is the Blessing of the Sick and Blessing of Religious articles.

We are back from a truly wonderful trip to Rome & Medjugorje. Thank you so much for helping us get it off the ground. I would like to sing high praises for our St Peter’s Tour guide. Can we please ask for her contact information to thank her? Fr Peter Damian and Fr Eduardol were both very much appreciated at the parish back home. Thank you so much for securing these two priests!
