Star of the Sea & Queen of Peace Pilgrimage
A Pilgrimage Unlike Any Before
Join Fr. Dan Reehil of Radio Maria, Fr. Jason Lewis, MIC-chaplain for the English-speaking pilgrims in Medjugorje, and your guides Ann Vucic and Ivan Ostojic for a pilgrimage unlike any we have offered before. After an overnight flight into Split, we will embark on a six-night excursion across the quiet waters of the Adriatic Sea aboard privately chartered ships. Along the way, we will have daily Mass together, listen to spiritual reflections from our priest chaplains aboard the boats, and enjoy contemplative silence on sea and land. All along the way, the saints of Dalmatia will be our companions. After we disembark in Trogir, we travel to Medjugorje where we will have five days of immersion in the village of Our Lady’s apparitions. It is here where daily Mass, Adoration, and the Sacrament of Reconciliation have transformed countless hearts for over four decades.

Your place on this pilgrimage awaits.
Anticipated Weather · May
Adriatic Sea · Days at Sea
65–78°F
Warm & Sunny · May
The Adriatic in May is calm, clear, and deeply blue — one of the finest stretches of water in the world at one of its finest times of year. Days at sea after Medjugorje offer something the pilgrimage itself sometimes does not: stillness without agenda, open horizon, and the unhurried space to begin absorbing what the week on land quietly deposited.
Medjugorje / Široki Brijeg / Mostar
62–76°F
Warm & Mostly Sunny · May
May is Medjugorje at its most welcoming — the valley green and fully alive, mornings clear and cool, afternoons warm enough to make the walk between St. James and the surrounding shrines a genuine pleasure. The day trips to Široki Brijeg and Mostar pass through some of Herzegovina's most beautiful spring countryside, unhurried and open to whatever the pilgrim brings to it.
Apparition Hill & Cross Mountain
54–66°F
Cool & Variable · May
The hilltops are noticeably cooler than the village and more exposed to the spring weather that moves through the Herzegovinian highlands without much notice. May mornings on the ascent can be brisk and beautiful; afternoons occasionally bring cloud and a passing shower. Sturdy shoes and a light layer make the climb manageable — what the pilgrim tends to find at the summit is worth the preparation.
May in this region is warm and largely sunny, though the Herzegovinian hilltops can be cool and unpredictable — pack a light waterproof jacket and sturdy closed-toe shoes for the climbs. Evenings in Medjugorje are cool; evenings on the Adriatic are mild. Modest attire is required at all sacred sites throughout (shoulders and knees covered). A light layer and sunscreen are both useful on deck.

What Pilgrims Are Saying
I have lots of favorite moments! One that I will treasure very much , was being able to be up on the altar and read one of the petitions during English Mass. I was surrounded with so many priests!!! Three of them, I listen and watch their videos online only!!!

All were very knowledgeable, pleasant, and seemed to have the interest of the pilgrims clearly in focus. I also appreciated their faith and commitment to making this a spiritual experience for us.
Loved the way meals were prepared and served; promoting a 'family' atmosphere.

Pilgrim from Florence, AL
Tekton, their staff, and the places we stay are always superb. I frequently recommend Tekton to others and to priests.
