12 Days Catholic Pilgrimage To

R ITALY AND MEDJUGORJE Rev. Marcel St. Jean

Dear Friends, I am inviting you to this spiritual journey to Italy and Medjugorje. I guaranty you on a spiritual and social level it’s going to be an unforgettable experience in the cities we will be visited. Our trip highlights Medjugorje where so many people go and come back to tell the transformation they felt at the place of the apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary since 1981 to six children, name the “Visionaries”. We will also be in Rome with all the pilgrims in the world at the Vatican to attend the Wednesday Audience with the Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI.
