— St. Pope John Paul II

People Who Know This Place from the Inside
Our guides and chaplains have been changed by Medjugorje. That's what makes the difference.
Ann Vucic
Pilgrimage Guide · First American Convert of Medjugorje
Ann Vucic was born in a village a few miles from Medjugorje, Bosnia-Herzegovina. Her family left communist Yugoslavia when she was two years old and settled in Chicago. In the summer of 1981, at the age of fifteen, Ann returned to her homeland for a summer vacation and shortly after that, the apparitions of Our Lady began. Ann witnessed the beginning days and months of Our Lady's apparitions in Medjugorje. This led to a radical conversion in her life, and a burning desire to help others encounter that same transformative power of God.
Upon completing bachelor's degrees in Theology and Psychology and a master's degree in Social Work, Ann worked as a social worker for many years. In 1999, she left her career to pursue her passion, evangelization. Her ministry has led her in many directions: organizing and leading pilgrimages and retreats; interpreting for Medjugorje visionaries and priests throughout the USA and beyond; sharing her personal testimony; speaking about Medjugorje and other faith-related topics at retreats, conferences, and parishes around the country. She also hosts a radio show on “Radio Maria USA” called Medjugorje: Message of Hope for the World.
Most recently, Ann was asked to be the consultant and Executive Producer on a major Hollywood motion picture about Medjugorje, currently in pre-production. This is an exciting project, whose goal is to bring the message of Medjugorje to millions of people all over the world.
Ann's experience as one of the earliest witnesses to the events in Medjugorje gives her a unique perspective, which few people have, on the apparitions and their significance for our times. Her powerful testimony, engaging delivery, as well as her expertise on the subject, will captivate and inspire you.

Special Pilgrimages with Fr. Dan Reehil
Fr. Dan Reehil
National Director, Radio Maria USA · Exorcist, Diocese of Nashville
Fr. Reehil came to Medjugorje in 1998 after years away from the Church. A single confession planted the seed of his priestly vocation. Ordained in 2014, he now leads Radio Maria USA — and returns to Medjugorje each year, accompanying pilgrims to the place where his own transformation began.

Prayerful Pilgrims
50M+
Between 40 and 50 million pilgrims from around the world have traveled to Medjugorje since the apparitions began in 1981. It has become one of the most visited pilgrimage sites in the entire Catholic world.
Conversions & Healings
Millions
Millions have reported dramatic spiritual conversions through Medjugorje. Hundreds of documented, instantaneous physical healings have also occurred in or through this simple, humble village.
Confessional of the World
65+
Medjugorje has approximately 65 confessionals — and during peak seasons, even that is not enough. Lines of pilgrims wait hours for the Sacrament of Reconciliation. It is considered the largest confessional in the world.
Vocations to the Priesthood
1,000+
The parish of Medjugorje has documented more than 1,000 men who found their calling to the priesthood in or through Medjugorje — more than any other single location in the Catholic world in the same period.
Resurgence of Adoration
Global
In 1981, Eucharistic Adoration had been largely abandoned. As millions of pilgrims encountered the power of adoration at Medjugorje and brought it home to their parishes, it was virtually single-handedly restored to the Church.
Worldwide Prayer Groups
Thousands
Thousands of Medjugorje prayer groups have formed throughout the world since 1981 — communities of faithful seeking to continue living the spirituality they first encountered on pilgrimage.
Returned by a Different Way
What Pilgrims Bring Home
The measure of a pilgrimage is not the sites visited, but the person who returns.
“Ann, Ivan, and everyone else involved with Tekton and this pilgrimage deserves a huge thank you. This was my second year to go to Medjugorje with them and I can’t imagine going with anyone else.”
Janet C.
Pilgrim from Nashville, TN · Medjugorje
“My spiritual expectation was met. Ann Vucic is a fantastic guide — warm, approachable, always eager to help. Fr. Dan Reehil is a big factor as spiritual director. I listen to his podcast often and when he said he was leading a group to Medjugorje, I immediately signed up.”
Maria P.
Pilgrim from Yonkers, NY · Medjugorje
“I have been challenged to live out the Messages of Medjugorje by living them in my own life and sharing them with others.”

The Church's Response
Forty Years of Discernment
The Catholic Church has studied Medjugorje longer and more thoroughly than any other reported apparition in history. Here is where things stand.
2010
The Ruini Commission
Pope Benedict XVI established an international commission chaired by Cardinal Camillo Ruini to formally investigate Medjugorje — its events, its fruits, and its visionaries. The commission worked for four years.
2014
Commission Findings
The commission completed its work and reportedly recommended approval of the first seven days of the apparitions as supernatural. The full report was forwarded to Rome for the Pope's response.
2019
Pope Francis Authorizes Pilgrimages
Pope Francis formally authorized parishes and dioceses to organize official pilgrimages to Medjugorje. For the first time, organized Catholic pilgrimage received explicit papal blessing.
2024
Nihil Obstat — The Church's Highest Available Recognition
In September 2024, the Vatican's Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith issued a nihil obstat for Medjugorje — meaning "no objection." This is the highest classification the Church currently issues for an ongoing apparition site. It formally recognizes the abundant spiritual fruits of Medjugorje and actively encourages the faithful to visit. There has never been a better moment to go.
