Upcoming Medjugorje Pilgrimages with Fr. Reehil
Fr. Dan Reehil
What happened there was not subtle. Fr. Reehil received the Sacrament of Reconciliation for the first time in twenty years. The priest who heard his confession told him he might have a vocation to the priesthood. He returned to New York a different man. The seed had been planted.
After the tragic events of 9/11, Fr. Dan left New York City and moved to Boston, where he began his priestly formation. His path was not straightforward — he took a break to live as a contemplative hermit in Nebraska for five years before returning to complete his studies. He was ordained in 2014.
Following ordination, Fr. Reehil was assigned to St. Edward Parish in the Diocese of Nashville, where he later served as Pastor, Dean of the South, and as the Exorcist for the Diocese of Nashville. Since 2020, he has served as the National Director for Radio Maria USA.
He continues to pilgrimage to Medjugorje when he is able, and seeks to bring people to Jesus through Mary — returning again and again to the place where his own story was rewritten.
Ann Vucic
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. Fr. Dan and Ann have been bringing groups to Medjugorje together for over ten years.

Fr. Reehil on Radio Maria
As National Director of Radio Maria USA, Fr. Reehil brings Catholic programming to listeners across the country. His daily podcast Battle Ready is broadcast on Radio Maria and covers spiritual warfare, the sacraments, and the call to holiness — often drawing on his experiences in Medjugorje and his years as a diocesan exorcist.
Listen to Fr. Reehil reflect on Medjugorje and the role it played in his vocation — and in the vocations of countless others who have walked the same rocky hillsides.
