Medjugorje Experience at St. Thomas

Tuesday, November 17

Registration is now closed for the evening event only, but you can still register for the daytime conference plus the evening event. We will need to make use of overflow spaces during the evening event, so not everyone will be seated in the church. We will also livestream the evening event on YouTube or Facebook.

Medjugorje is coming to Ann Arbor! Encounter the story of our Lady’s appearances at Medjugorje, hear her call to deeper conversion and prayer, and spend time with Marija Pavlović-Lunetti, one of the Medjugorje visionaries, who will share her experiences with us.

During the daytime conference, Marija will share her personal experience of our Lady’s apparitions. There will be a time for worship, prayer, Mass, and additional testimonies and talks about the message of Medjugorje.  Speakers will include Fr. Jason Lewis, MIC, the chaplain for English-speaking pilgrims to Medjugorje, and Ivana, a Medjugorje pilgrimage guide.

During the evening event, we will pray the Rosary, Marija will have a personal encounter with the Blessed Virgin Mary, she will share about her experiences, and we will adore Christ in the Blessed Sacrament. Come and join us for prayer and time to grow closer to Jesus as our Blessed Mother would want!

Questions About Medjugorje?

More than a million pilgrims visit the small village of Medjugorje in Bosnia-Herzegovina each year to draw closer to Jesus through his Holy Mother, including our very own Fr. Bill Ashbaugh. Since the early 1980s, several visionaries have reported experiences in which they see the Blessed Virgin Mary and receive messages from her. The Holy See has ruled that belief in these apparitions and devotions related to Medjugorje are permitted, though not required.
