ITINERARY
Day 1: Thursday….Departure From Newark
Flight from Newark International Airport to Split, Croatia. Dinner and breakfast will be served on board.
Day 2: ….Arrival in Croatia
Upon arrival at Split International Airport, after you have obtained your bags and have passed through customs, you will be greeted by a local English speaking tour guide. We will then take a 2 1/2 hour drive on a private motor coach to the beautiful, peaceful village of Medjugorje where a hot dinner will be waiting for us. Our guide will accompany us and will remain with us the entire Pilgrimage.
Day 3-10: ….Medjugorje
This Pilgrimage will be very special as Fr. Glenn Sudano, a Franciscan Friar of the Renewal, and well known spiritual director, will offer a Retreat for our pilgrims during our stay in Medjugorje. Fr. Glenn will be assisted by another CFR friar.
Fr. Glenn Sudano, CFR, is a dynamic speaker and a well-known, gifted Spiritual Director. Fr. Glenn is one of the eight founding members of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal, a community founded in the spring of 1987. The apostolic mission of the community is to serve the materially poor, especially the destitute and homeless.
Our accommodations will be at a modern pension (double occupancy rooms with a private bath in each room). Breakfast and dinner will be provided at the pension. For those pilgrims who would enjoy lunch, there are many lovely restaurants in the village of Medjugorje.
We will attend daily Mass (10am in English) at St. James Church. We will have the opportunity to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation and to participate in the spiritual activities of St. James Parish, Medjugorje.
For those who are able, we will climb Apparition Hill (the site where Our Lady first appeared to the visionaries) and also climb Cross Mountain. We will visit some of the local points of interest, e.g. Mother’s Village, the community of Cenacolo. Depedending on availability, we will hear talks by the visionaries and talks by local priests.
Day 11 ….Departure to Newark
An early departure to Split International Airport.
Lunch and snacks will be served on our return flight home.
