2024 pilgrimage

 Join us on a spiritual journey to Medjugorje, the Croatian Catholic church parish known as Our Lady of Peace shrine in Bosnia Hercegovina, Europe.

MirPeace have 3 pilgrimages planned for 2024.

For information please email: mir.peace81@gmail.com

Our mother, Helen Sarcevic, saw a need in the 1980s and our family answered Gospa's call to help pilgrims have an authentic spiritual experience of God's love and peace in this place where heaven touches the earth. There is hope in the faith of the visionaries and the parish families and priests.

Thank God for His graces in sending the Blessed Virgin Mary to us in this special way since 1981!

1988 trip memories

 From Blessed Virgin Mary's (Gospa's) quote below: 

"...children, pray that God come to your aid...

 according to His love..." 

Let Him heal you.

Cross Mountain from Apparition Hill

So much has changed there... more buildings in the valley, progress, ... even so God's peace is still felt there and hundreds of thousands of pilgrims around the world have had more chances to learn to love and heal by praying & allowing God's love to grow within us.

(ENGLISH) Gospa Our Lady Queen of Peace gave this message for us, June 25, 1988:

 "Dear children! I am calling you to that love which is loyal and pleasing to God. Little children, love bears everything bitter and difficult for the sake of Jesus who is love. Therefore, dear children, pray that God come to your aid, not however according to your desire, but according to His love. 

Surrender yourself to God so that He may heal you, console you and forgive everything inside you which is a hindrance on the way of love. In this way God can move your life, and you will grow in love. Dear children, glorify God with a hymn of love so that God's love may be able to grow in you day by day to its fullness. Thank you for having responded to my call."

(HRVATSKI) Gospina poruka, 25. lipanj 1988. - Poruka za 7. obljetnicu:
“Draga djeco! Danas vas pozivam na ljubav, koja je Bogu odana i ugodna. Dječice, ljubav sve prihvaća, sve što je tvrdo i gorko, radi Isusa koji je ljubav. Zato, draga djeco, molite Boga da vam dođe u pomoć, ali ne po vašim željama, nego po svojoj ljubavi.

Bogu se predajte, da vas on može liječiti, tješiti i praštati vam sve ono što je u vama zapreka na putu ljubavi. Bog može oblikovati vašživot i vi ćete rasti u ljubavi. Slavite Boga, dječice, hvalospjevom ljubavi, da bi ljubav Božja mogla rasti iz dana u dan do svoje punine. Hvala vam što ste se odazvali mom pozivu! ”

Christmas peace and joy

 God's peace be with you! Peace on earth, good will towards all!

This Advent and Christmas season, it's wonderful to reflect on peace and joy in our hearts as Gospa, the Blessed Virgin Mary in Medjugorje has been tirelessly teaching us, her children, through prayer, fasting, to get closer to God through her Son, Jesus Christ. No matter who, where, or what we are...We are all family! ***  ***

a quote from Medjugorje message on Christmas, 2007, is below. 

Sarcevic family wishes you all a 

Blessed & MERRY CHRISTMAS!  

Blagoslovljen i Sretan Božić! 

(Helen Sarcevic, Mir-Peace pilgrimage founder; daughters Christina Verdgeline, Miriam Vukmanic & family, Darlene Milas guide and translator & family).

Mir-PEACE pilgrimage groups have been traveling to Croatian Catholic church parish of #Medjugorje since the mid 1980s #blessed... people of other religions have felt peace there also.

****** Message. Gospa, Our Lady Queen of Peace:

"Dear children!

Today in a special way I call you to become open to God and for each of your hearts today to become a place of Jesus' birth. Little children, through all this time that God permits me to be with you, I desire to lead you to the joy of your life. Little children, the only true joy of your life is God. Therefore, dear children, do not seek joy in things of this earth but open your hearts and accept God. Little children, everything passes; only God remains in your heart. Thank you for having responded to my call."

A message from Our Lady to Jakov Colo to whom she appears once-yearly on Christmas. December 25, 2007. The apparition began at 2:29pm and lasted six minutes.

Medjugorje anniversary 6-2019

Mir-Peace pilgrims are #blessed and happy to help others by helping families in #Medjugorje hand out water to the hot, thirsty pilgrims who walked miles today in the annual Peace March, praying for peace. 

Thank you, Radiopostaja MIR Međugorje! 

Hvala! Hvala Bogu! 

I see my sister, and all of you! So many good fruits, good energy ... Wishing this and other selfless events made international news more often. This is real news, good news. I remember how SUPER it was last time I was able to travel there and join in. :-) 
Think positive, good thoughts everyone, today, this Monday, and live it! no matter what you are up against. Have a great day!

Mir-Peace pilgrims are #blessed and happy to help others by helping families in #Medjugorje hand out water to the hot, thirsty pilgrims who walked miles today in the annual Peace March, praying for peace. World peace. Peace in our hearts, every soul.
(and thank you to the youngster who helped hold up our sign. :-) ) Our Pilgrimage group, as every year, is at our Elez host family's home. The peace walk pilgrims are arriving at Saint James Croatian Catholic Church nearby, some barefoot. What a sacrifice! That is true love, like the love that Jesus Christ and the Blessed Virgin Mary show us how to live in the New Testament of the Bible.
God's peace be with you all!

Pope Francis authorizes pilgrimages to Medjugorje

GOOD NEWS! (on Mother's Day! :-) )
Pope Francis authorizes pilgrimages to MEDJUGORJE! (EN) ~ Vatican news, May 12, 2019
 (HR) Papa Franjo odobrio hodočašća u Međugorje 

Pope Francis has decided to authorize pilgrimages to Medjugorje, which can now be officially organized by dioceses and parishes and will no longer take place only in a private capacity which as has so far been the case. The announcement was made today during Mass, at the parish shrine which has become a destination for millions of pilgrims, by the Apostolic Nuncio Luigi Pezzuto in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Archbishop Henryk Hoser, the Holy See's Special Apostolic Visitator.
~Massimiliano Menichetti - Vatican City (EN) - (HR) bitno .net

Mir-peace spiritual pilgrimages have never doubted the authenticity. We travel there every year. Thank God! We know the people and their strong faith in this Croatian Catholic Church parish, Bosnia Hercegovina, Europe.
We first saw this announcement today shared by Ivan Dominik Iličić:
"Nekako se poklapi da uz nase sinoćnje pjevanje pjesme “Došli smo ti Majko draga”, na koncertu Progledaj srcem u Areni, dođe i ova divna vijest 🙂službeno su odobrena Hodočašća u Međugorje 🙂#Međugorje #Progledajsrcem #Progledajsrcem2019#Kraljicamira #Gospa #Isus " with link to Croatian article, 
then verified with the Vatican news. Vatican city.
