“...this movement will not stop and should not be
stopped, because of the good fruit that grows out of it...”
The Fruits of Medjugorje
The Bible tells us “You shall know them by their fruits” Mt 7:20. The fruits of Medjugorje are abundant, varied and have already had tremendous impact on the Church.
PRAYERFUL Pilgrims
Between 40 to 50 million people from throughout the world have travelled to Medjugorje since the apparitions began. It has become one of the most visited pilgrimage sites in the entire Catholic world.
Conversions and Healings
Millions of people have claimed that their lives have dramatically changed since visiting this simple, humble little village. In addition to these spiritual conversions, there have also been hundreds of documented, instantaneous physical healings that have occurred in or through Medjugorje.
Confessional of the World
One of the most powerful means of healing and conversion in Medjugorje is through the Sacrament of Reconciliation. There are currently about 65 confessionals in Medjugorje,...
Vocations TO THE PRIESTHOOD
The parish of Medjugorje has documented more than 1,000 men who found their calling to be priests in or through Medjugorje. There is no other place in the Catholic world that has produced this many priests in such a short period of
time.
RESURGENCE OF Adoration
In 1981, when the apparitions first began, the devotional practice of Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament was considered a pre-Vatican 2 practice, and largely abandoned throughout the Church.
WORLDWIDE Prayer Groups
Thousands of “Medjugorje” prayer groups have been formed throughout the world since the apparitions first began, as a way to continue to live the spirituality that people encountered through Medjugorje.
The Church's Response
In 2010, Pope Benedict established a commission to investigate Medjugorje and to make recommendations regarding the authenticity of its events (commonly called The Ruini Commission). The commission completed its work in 2014, and it was later revealed that the commission recommended that the first seven days of the apparitions be approved. We are still waiting on the Holy Father to make a decision regarding the recommendations of the commission, however, Pope Francis has authorized pilgrimage to Medjugorje for parish priests and dioceses.

Frequently Asked Questions about Medjugorje Pilgrimages and Fr. Sudac Retreats
About Fr. Zlatko Sudac
Fr. Zlatko Sudac was born, the oldest of 2 children, on January 24th, 1971, in Rijeka, Croatia. He grew up on Krk Island, which is the northern most island on the Croatian Adriatic coast. In his early 20’s, Fr. Sudac discerned he was called to the priesthood and was ordained a priest of the Krk Diocese on June 29, 1998.
In May, 1999, 11 months after he was ordained, something very unexpected happened which changed the trajectory of Fr. Sudac’s life. Fr. Sudac received the first mark of the stigmata on his body, which came in the form of a cross “imprinted” on his forehead. In an effort to understand this phenomenon, his bishop asked the young priest to submit himself to testing, which Fr. Sudac agreed to do. The examination of the cross on Fr. Sudac forehead confirmed that there was no medical explanation for its formation.

About Ann Vucic
Your pilgrimage director
Ann Vucic was born in a village 2 miles away from Medjugorje, Bosnia-Herzegovina (place of alleged Marian apparitions since 1981) but her family moved to the USA when she was 2 years old. In the summer of 1981, when she was 15 years old, Ann returned to her homeland for a summer vacation and was a witness to the beginning days and months of Our Lady's apparitions in Medjugorje, which profoundly changed her life.
Ann completed undergraduate studies in Theology and Psychology (1988), and graduate studies in Social Work (1992) at Loyola University Chicago. By 1999, after many years of working in the field of Social Work, Ann discerned a call by the Lord to leave her career and begin a new life, fully committed to evangelization and ministry. Shortly after that, Ann met a young, charismatic Croatian priest with the stigmata, named Fr. Zlatko Sudac. She spent the next 7 years primarily living and working at Bethany Retreat House, on Losinj Island, Croatia, of which Fr. Sudac was the spiritual director. She worked there as coordinator of retreats for English speaking pilgrims, as well as Fr. Sudac’s interpreter for the retreats.
