Wednesday, June 25, 2014, marks the 33rd anniversary of the apparitions of Our Lady in Medjugorje. Since June 1981, the Virgin Mary has been appearing daily and blessing the world with Her presence and blessing. This year, the 33rd year, is a very special feast, and in Medjugorje, Our Lady requested that June 25 be celebrated as the feast of the Queen of Peace.
It is in this spirit that the Community of Caritas is extending a special invitation for anyone within driving distance to join us at Caritas for the Medjugorje anniversary of June 24-25, 2014. A list of nearest hotels are available below. Free primitive camping is available on the grounds for anyone wishing to come. If you are interested in camping, please call Caritas at 205-672-2000 (ext. 382) to receive more information and to let us know you are coming. Again, there is no cost to camping, but we do need to know if you are coming and camping.
*The Community of Caritas will be fasting on Monday, June 23, since the Wednesday is the Anniversary feast.
