Pilgrimages can sometimes become hurried journeys from one holy place to another. Adoratio Pilgrimages was inspired by a desire for something deeper: prayerful, unhurried journeys that give pilgrims the time and space to encounter Christ.

With a special emphasis on Eucharistic Adoration and prayer, our pilgrimages seek to move beyond simply seeing holy places—to truly pray, reflect, and be renewed in the presence of God.

Join us as we travel to the village of Medjugorje in Bosnia Herzegovina. This tiny village has become a place of great hope and conversion for many pilgrims.  

Our guide will meet us upon arrival at the Dubrovnik airport and will set our daily schedule.  Our hotel is located near St. James Church, allowing easy and comfortable access for Holy Mass in English, Reconciliation, meditation, spiritual direction, healing prayer and evening services.  

We will walk through the vineyards to the Hill of Apparitions and pray at the Blue Cross; climb Mount Krizevak, known as Cross Mountain where villagers erected a 30-ft. high cross; visit the Divine Mercy Chapel where Fr. Declan will celebrate Holy Mass and journey to surrounding communities of Cenacolo, Oasis of Peace and Mothers Village throughout the week.  We will celebrate the Solemnity of Corpus Christi with a beautiful Eucharistic procession around the village of Medjugorje – a particularly memorable opportunity to publicly honor Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament.

Medjugorje: Where the World Comes to Pray…From May 22, through June 1, 2026, I experience my first pilgrimage with a group of twenty pilgrims who will be life-long spiritual companions. From beginning to end the days were filled with profound moments of prayer, serenity, joy, and hope. With Julie, our guide, everyday brought us to something new and meaningful. Our chaplain, Fr. Declan’s goal of providing us with a pilgrimage that was slow paced made every moment a prayer that showed us Our Lady’s loving protection and most importantly, how she leads us to her Son, Jesus Christ.

There were so many powerful moments on this trip, but what stays in my memory is the people. People from all over the world who came there with strong faith. Gatherings of thousands of people were moments of silent and powerful prayers, prayers for the whole world, prayers for peace, prayers for love, prayers of hope. As Adoratio Pilgrimages looks towards 2027, I encourage all to “Come and See.” Donna E, New York

The pilgrimage to Medjugorje was beautiful and fruitful from the first moment.  It affirmed Mary’s love for us and our call to love one another.  Every Mass, talk and excursion was directed towards Christ through Mary. Each detail was well planned and accommodations were spectacular.  Fr Declan provided Spiritual guidance and offered beautiful Masses. Thank you for such a well organized pilgrimage where strangers became family!

A Journey of Grace and Surrender…After this pilgrimage, I return not with something new, but with a heart deeply renewed in the vocation I have already received. This pilgrimage itself has been a gift far beyond anything I could have expected or deserved. It was more than a journey to a holy place, it became a living encounter with God’s love, mercy, and quiet presence in my life in ways I did not foresee.

In a special way, I was given a foretaste of the joy of Heaven, a deep peace and happiness that cannot be explained by circumstances. In those sacred moments of prayer and silence, my heart was filled with a sense of being completely at home in God’s presence. Nothing of this world compared to that joy. Because of this grace, I find within myself no greater desire than to remain with Him. All other things fade in importance. My only longing is to dwell in His presence, to love Him, and to be loved by Him forever. It was also the gift of a return to the core of my vocation: to belong fully to Him, to trust Him more, and to serve with a more purified intention.

And now, I carry within me a deeper desire: to let go of myself completely, so that only God’s will may be revealed through my life. I long to decrease, so that He may increase; to surrender my own plans, attachments, and securities, so that His presence and His love may be more fully manifested in me. I return with profound gratitude, because this pilgrimage was truly a gift beyond my expectations, one that has quietly transformed my heart and given me a taste of Heaven’s joy, drawing me to desire nothing more than to be with Him always.
