Apparition Hill is a new film based on the happenings at the sacred mountain side village of Medjugorje, Bosina where since 1981 a group of young people have claimed to have apparitions and revelations of Mary, the mother of God. This film documents the journey of 6 unknown pilgrims, from very diverse backgrounds, having won a competition in the US to journey to Medjugorje. It tells their story and answers some of the great questions of this spiritual oasis in a world of war, so devoid of peace. It has received rave reviews throughout the world and now can be seen in Ireland. St Clare’s Hospitality Food Kitchen have been given the privilege of being able to hold a special advanced screening of the film and all proceeds will go towards the work of the kitchen. The screening takes place on Sunday 25th of September in the Visual Arts Centre, Carlow at 3.00pm and also at 8.00pm. Admission is €10 per ticket (Visual Arts Centre only) and early booking is advised. For more information please call 059 9172400. A raffle will take place to win a Trip to Medjugorje for 2 People kindly sponsored by Marian Pilgrimages.
