From the beginning of Medjugorje apparitions in June 1981, Medjugorje became an important place of pilgrimage and encouragement for faith and spiritual life for millions of people and thousands of prayer groups.
Many people experienced God's grace and presence in their hearts on this place and often receive motivation to lead a better, more valuable life.
A life with love and opened heart for God and people, life of prayer and communion with God. Prayers, changed lives and humanitarian activities and projects influenced or inspired by Medjugorje without doubt help make this world a better place. Maybe more, than we would expect.

Medjugorje is one of the most famous Roman Catholic pilgrimage destinations in the world. It became known through the apparitions of the Virgin Mary, which began to appear as a phenomenon in 1981, after which religious tourism began to develop.
Since then, this Herzegovinian place, along with Sarajevo, is one of the most visited tourist centres in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which is visited annually by about a million Catholics from all over the world.
