Anticipated Weather · May

Split, Croatia 65–78°F Warm & Sunny · Mid-May The Adriatic coast in mid-May is warm, bright, and welcoming — a gentle first step onto European soil before the road turns inland toward Medjugorje and the deeper work of the pilgrimage begins.
Medjugorje 60–76°F Warm & Pleasant · May Mid-May brings Medjugorje fully into spring — warm, fragrant days and long golden evenings well-suited to daily Mass, the international prayer program, and the quiet hours of Adoration that have a way of changing a person from the inside out.
Apparition Hill & Cross Mountain 58–72°F Warm & Breezy · May The hilltops are warm and breezy in May, the rocky paths dry and navigable. An early morning ascent rewards the effort — the valley below settling into silence, the summit offering the kind of stillness that is difficult to find anywhere else.

Mid-May is one of the finest times to be in Medjugorje — warm, green, and unhurried. Occasional afternoon showers are possible; a light waterproof layer is worth tucking into your day bag. Sturdy walking shoes are essential for Apparition Hill and Cross Mountain. Modest attire is required at all sacred sites throughout the pilgrimage (shoulders and knees covered).

What Pilgrims Are Saying


I have been challenged to live out the Messages of Medj by living them in my own life and sharing them with others.
Jennie G.
Pilgrim from Brentwood, TN
I was SO influenced by sharing the time with the Universal Church. In Our Lady's message she called us to (paraphrasing) to be carriers of Peace and Joy . So, for me I will try to Evangelize at every opportunity. I truly know that Our Lady loves me as does her Son. My heart is full and overflowing.
Pam F.
Pilgrim from Nashville, TN
My spiritual expectation was met. The pilgrimage was run professionally. Ann Vucic, is a fantastic guide! I found her very warm, approachable & always eager to help and answer our questions. She is an asset to your company as her family is from Medjugorje area. She knows All!!! Fr. Dan Reehil is a big factor!   View More
