MEDJUGORJE PILGRIMAGE 10 DAYS FROM BOSTON
Trip led by Fr Joe Rice
Since 1981
, it has become a popular site of Catholic pilgrimage due to Our Lady of Međugorje, an alleged series of apparitions of the Virgin Mary to six local children that are still happening to this day.The name Međugorje literally means between mountains. The messages attributed to Our Lady of Medjugorje have a strong following among Catholics worldwide. Medjugorje has become one of the most popular pilgrimage sites for Catholics.People go on pilgrimage for as many reasons as there are pilgrims. And you don’t have to be religious to go on pilgrimage!
Often, people go on pilgrimage when they are at a crossroads in their lives, when undergoing a change in their life’s direction or relationships. Others may be in search of a deeper spirituality, healing and forgiveness. Or it may be that pilgrimage marks a special birthday, retirement or other occasion for giving thanks. It’s also a great adventure with the chance to meet new people and see new places.
For Christians, the reasons for going on pilgrimage might be:• To set aside time for God and feel closer to him
• To discern his will and guidance at times of transition or difficulty
• To be strengthened in faith
• To feel inspired by the communion of saints who have gone before us
Pilgrimage departs on September 21, 2021 and returns on September 30, 2021Cost $3399 double occupancy. Deposit $500. Paid in full 45 days before departure.

Christmas Letter from Fr. Rick
Dear Family and Friends,
I have had the chance to know many amazing people over 40 years of Passionist priesthood and 20 years as a physician, especially women, whose resilience is incredible. You often meet the most extraordinary people when you meet those who have suffered deeply in their lives.
The prophet Isaiah (42:3) speaks of God's careful cultivation of the wounded heart, saying of the Messiah
"A bruised reed He will not break, And a dimly burning wick He will not extinguish; He will faithfully bring forth justice."
Recently, some of these heroic women, who by life's cruelty would already have been broken reeds and snuffed out candles, include internal refugees from the violence in Port au Prince.
Their pitiful shacks were burned by bandits, the men of the family were often shot in front of them, some of their young daughters were raped.
Yet they are longing to live a better life.
