- Many of the activities will be subject to availability and weather. You will always have the option of participating in group activities or spending time by yourself. These activities include:
- Attending the Holy Mass in English every day at St. James church (usually at 10:00 am), with English speaking pilgrims from throughout the world.

- Climbing Apparition Hill, site where Our Lady first appeared to the visionaries.
- Day trip on the Dalmatian coast of the Adriatic Sea. Wander the streets of Makarska, visit the beach, or relax at a local cafe. In the afternoon, we travel a short distance to the outdoor Shrine of Vepric, devoted to Our Lady of Lourdes. After Mass return to Medjugorje.
- Climbing Cross Mountain; praying the Stations of the Cross as we ascend to the summit.
- Visiting the Cenacolo Community, where young people with various addictions will share their testimonies about how they found freedom and a new life through prayer, work, and the Sacraments.

- Visiting Siroki Brijeg – a Franciscan Monastery which is the site of the martyrdom of 30 Franciscan Friars during WWII
- Hearing talks by visionaries, priests and other locals, when possible.

Pilgrim from Penfield, IL
Medjugorje
"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."
