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.
Vatican approves pilgrimages to Medjugorje
In 2019 Pope Francis authorized pilgrimages to Medjugorje for parish priests and dioceses. Most recently, the Vatican issued the highest classification possible for a Marian apparition – Nihil Obstat. This is in accordance with the new norms established by the Vatican in May 2024 and encourages pilgrimages to this special site.

About Ann Vucic
Your pilgrimage director
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.
