Many of the villagers set up altars along the route of the procession and the procession would stop at different houses to do a blessing upon the village. It was a beautiful experience for all those who participated with the thousands of other pilgrims from all over the world, prayerfully following behind Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament.

Društvo vodiča za hodočasnike u župi Međugorje osnovano je uoči 10. obljetnice Gospinih ukazanja, tj u lipnju 1991. godine po nadahnuću međugorskih fratara pokojnih fra Slavka Barbarića i fra Leonarda Oreča, te svakako fra Joze Zovke i nekolicine lokalnih entuzijasta – ljudi koji su, poznajući strane jezike, hodočasnike pratili i prevodili im i tako pomagali u razumijevanju događaja u Međugorju. U rad Društva, nakon rigoroznih i detaljnih provjera u vidu ispita tijekom godina su uključivani ljudi koji su u svom srcu nosili ljubav prema Gospi i Međugorju i koji su bili spremni i voljni slijediti Gospine poruke i na taj način predstavljati Međugorje nebrojenim hodočasnicima koji i dan danas pristižu iz cijeloga svijeta. Ovo je glavni cilj Društva vodiča za hodočasnike u Međugorju: pomoći hodočasnicima da upoznaju prave vrijednosti Međugorja, darove i milosti koje nam ovdje Bog preko Gospe pruža, i služiti hodočasnicima slijedeći i živeći Gospine poruke pokušati uputiti hodočasnike prema sakramentima i osobnom iskustvu vjere. Međugorski vodiči nisu turistički vodiči, već vodiči hodočasnička, koji ishodno zakonu imaju položen i Državni ispit za turističke vodiče. Također su svi vodiči, kako bi vjerodostojno i u skladu s naukom Katoličke crkve kojoj svi pripadamo, pomagali hodočasnicima, zadovoljili kriterije dodatnoga Župnoga ispita za vodiče hodočasnika u župi Međugorje. Društvo danas broji preko 100 članova koji su svoje usluge spremni ponuditi na više jezika: talijanskom, njemačkom, engleskom, španjolskom, francuskom, poljskom, češkom, slovačkom, mađarskom, ruskom. Naše djelovanje usko je povezano s Župnim uredom Međugorje i Informativnim centrom MIR Međugorje. To se pogotovo očituje u činjenici da društvo ima svoga duhovnika, jednoga od međugorskih franjevaca, dok se mjesto unutar Upravnog odbora Društva kao jednom od sedam članova, redovito prepušta jednom od međugorskih franjevaca opet po izboru Župnoga ureda. Međugorski vodiči dosljedno slijede upute Župnog ureda vezano za posjećivanje određenih lokaliteta unutar župe te točno znaju koja mjesta je poželjno posjetiti u duhu hodočašća, a koja ne.
