Medjugorje is not just a pilgrimage, it’s an immersion experience into a rhythm of prayer in a setting steeped in the Lord’s peace. Many have said it is the closest to heaven on earth they have experienced. Pilgrims on this grace-filled pilgrimage will enjoy the guidance and leadership of Ann Vucic, early witness to the Medjugorje apparitions, along with the spiritual guidance of Fr. Dan Reehil of Radio Maria, who credits Medjugorje as a major part of his own conversion and vocation.

Anticipated Weather · May
Split / Makarska Riviera
62–75°F
Warm & Sunny · May
The Dalmatian coast in May is at its finest — warm Adriatic light, calm seas, and the Biokovo mountains rising dramatically behind the shore. A beautiful setting to breathe, recover, and begin to leave the ordinary behind.
Medjugorje
58–74°F
Mild & Pleasant · May
May is one of Medjugorje's most beautiful months — the valley is green and fragrant, days are warm without being heavy, and the long evenings are ideal for the international prayer program and quiet reflection after Mass.
Apparition Hill & Cross Mountain
55–70°F
Warm & Breezy · May
The summits are warmer in May but still breezy, and the rocky paths dry and manageable. Early morning ascents are especially rewarding — the valley spreads out in spring light below, and the quiet up there has a way of settling something deep.
May is an ideal month for Medjugorje — warm, green, and unhurried. Occasional afternoon showers are possible; a light waterproof layer is worth packing. 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
