In June 1981, six young people in the remote Croatian village of Medjugorje began to report experiencing apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary. One of them, Ivan Dragicevic, has been invited by the parish to visit Holy Name Cathedral on March 8 to speak about his experiences.
Though the Vatican has yet to rule on the authenticity of the apparitions, over 40 million people, including cardinals, bishops and priests, have made pilgrimages to Medjugorje.
All are welcome to join us for this special evening. No tickets or reservations required. A free‐will offering will be requested.
