He was ordained as Bishop in 2003 and he is normally very busy throughout the year, but he accepted the invitation of his friends who came to Europe. He heard about Medjugorje in the very beginning, he thinks it might have been already in 1981. “Medjugorje is the world centre, place of prayer and peace”, says Bishop Hilarius and adds, “People are coming here because Our Lady is really appearing here, this is the place of renewal, conversion, new beginning. Medjugorje attracts many people; I can see personal relationship, this is all work of God, something that he does through His Blessed Mother and visionaries, I really like everything I see here. God is always at work, whether we see that or not, God’s message needs to be announced all over the place”, said Bishop Hilarius at the end, who will stay in Medjugorje for three days. On Sunday, September 12, 2010 we celebrated the Feast of Exaltation of the Holy Cross in parish of Medjugorje.

Up to Our Lady's apparitions, this feast was just for parishioners and their friends and relatives, while after 1981. this becomes central event for pilgrims from all over the world. Ever since the time we started to count the number of given Holy Communions, this August has been above all of the previous number with 326.500 Holy Communions given. Huge numbers of pilgrims from all over the world continued also in the first days of September with groups from Italy, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Hungary, Greece, Ireland, Lebanon, Germany, Austria, Spain and Belgium. Number of Holy Communions: 326.500 Number of priests that concelebrated at Holy Masses: 7742 (249 per day) Amongst many pilgrims who are arriving to Medjugorje after the feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we met Mary Fernandez from Florida, who came to Medjugorje 109 times so far. She came to Medjugorje for the first time more than 22 years ago, after reading a book about apparitions and that is when she decided to come for the first time on pilgrimage with her husband. Already on that first pilgrimage, they brought 37 pilgrims with them. Mary says that that was the love on the first sight.“ We always prayed in my home, but after Medjugorje, pryer became different. I learned here how to pray the Rosary and I started to live the Holy Mass. Encounters with Medjugorje tought me how to accept all oft he realities that were happening in my life. I learned that problems are not going to disappear, but are being resolved in much easier way with God. Medjugorje is a school of life, it is like my second home. I feel peace both here and in my home, as well. Together with her husband, she is bringing groups from South America and Spanish speaking people from Miami, USA. Medjugorje is packed with pilgrims in the last few days, dozens of thousands, while the biggest number is of those from Italy. There are groups from Germany, Austria, England, Ireland, Libanon, Korea, France, United States, Vietnam, Hungary, Slovakia, Spain, Czech and Poland. There is also big number of Croatian pilgrims, especially those who are working abroad and come to their homes during holidays. In the previous years, number of pilgrims was always reduced after the Feast of Assumption of Blessed Virgin Mary, while this year, with each day, that number is getting bigger. Amongst many of them, we would like to emphasise int he special way, group from Italy, 21 of them who arrived by bycicle to Medjugorje. Two years ago they cycled to Santiago de Compostella, and decided to repeat that on their way to Medjugorje. As they travelled, they wore t-shirts with MEDJUGORJE writting on them, and everybody whom they met on their journey admired them for that. They said to press members of Radio Station Mir Medjugorje that Medjugorje is the place where you can strongly feel God's presence and faith in the people. What really touches us about Medjugorje is how real and simple Our Lady's messages are, where you really can feel Jesus' invitation to conversion. Hungarian pilgrim Nagy Gergely walked for 38 days from Hungary to Medjugorje. Tordai Eva joined him, but she could not complete the journey and after 4 days she came by bus. He said that the reason of his coming to Medjugorje was to thank Our Lady for the graces received. (foto) This year, as well as in the previous years, Medjugorje was packed with dozens of thousands of pilgrims who had arrived specially for the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Thousands of them waited to receive the sacrament of the Confession and to be prepared in that way for the celebration of the Holy Mass. On that day, 15 Holy Masses were celebrated on the Church ground, five in Croatian language and one of each of the following languages: Italian, English, German, French, Czech, Polish, Slovakian, Hungarian, Spanish and Arabian. The Information Office had registered groups from 17 various countries: Coast of Ivory, USA, England, Germany, Poland, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Austria, Italy, France, Austria, Spain, Hungary, Lebanon, Slovenia and Ireland. As in previous years, Medjugorje was central pilgrimage destination for numerous pilgrims from Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, many of whom had even walked for few days on their pilgrimage. Apart from participating in celebration of the Holy Masses, many pilgrims had also climbed the Cross Mountain and the Hill of Apparitions.

Trideset četiri hodočasnika, pravoslavne vjeroispovijesti, iz različitih dijelova Izraela, stigli su u Međugorje 11. svibnja 2012. Još neki će im se pridružiti u idućim danima. Susreli smo ih na početku hodočašća. ''Došli smo kući, svojoj Majci. Svi smo mi kršćani i svi smo mi sjedinjeni s Bogom. Nema razlika u raju. Mi se ovdje osjećamo kao da nam je mjesto ovdje'' - kazali su hodočasnici iz Izraela koji u Međugorju ostaju 10 dana. Hodočasnici u Međugorje pristižu na različite načine. Hodočasnik na biciklu i nije osobita novost, međutim kad se radi o čovjeku koji je prešao sedamdeset godina, onda je to ipak nesvakidašnji događaj. Radi se o 71-godišnjem Nijemcu, Helmutu Kϋhnu koji je iz sjevernoga djela Njemačke stigao u Međugorje biciklom. Uz hodočasnike iz dvadesetak država svijeta, novinari radiopostaje „Mir“ Međugorje susreli su ovih dana i one iz Paname. Lorena Varela, supruga potpredsjednika Paname, drugi je put ovdje. Za Međugorje je čula preko svoje majke koja je oduvijek željela posjetiti Međugorje, ali hodočašće nije bilo moguće radi teške bolesti. Umrla je prošle godine. Nedugo nakon smrti majke, Lorena sa svojom sestrom odlučila hodočastiti. Broj podijeljenih sv. pričesti: 183.500 Broj svećenika koncelebranata: 3417 (113 dnevno) Ljetni raspored molitvenog programa u Međugorju počinje 1. svibnja. Molitva krunice u župnoj crkvi je u 18, a sv. Misa u 19 sati, a nakon Mise slijedi uobičajeni molitveni raspored ovisno o danu u tjednu. Klanjanje je srijedom i subotom u 22 sata. Pobožnost Križnog puta na Križevcu petkom je u 16, a molitva krunice na Podbrdu nedjeljom također u 16 sati. U mnoštvu hodočasnika koji ovih dana borave u Međugorju, novinari radiopostaje Mir Međugorje susreli su i skupinu iz Grčke. Dovela ih je Chiara Perfetti iz Atene. Svi su, osim Chiare, pravoslavni vjernici. Chiara je u listopadu prošle godine prvi put u Međugorje došla s mužem i dvoje prijatelja. Kaže da je imala san. Za nekoliko dana nešto je provjeravala na internetu, i vidjela je ono što je vidjela u snu, međugorski vanjski oltar s bijelim Gospinim kipom. U Međugorju u ovom uskrsnom vremenu borave mnogi hodočasnici. Ured informacija bilježi veće i manje skupine iz: Engleske, Rumunjske, Francuske, Slovačke, Albanije, Portugala, Njemačke, Italije, Austrije, Mađarske, Libanona, SAD-a, Irske, Portugala, Brazila, Poljske, Meksika, Kanade, Slovenije, Koreje, Belgije, Nizozemske, Španjolske, Ukrajine, Hrvatske te Bosne i Hercegovine. Susreli smo Mariu Peoples, iz Sjeverne Irske. Prvi put je došla u Međugorje 1985. Od 1986. dovodi skupine u Međugorje. I ove se godine za Uskrs u Međugorju okupio veliki broj hodočasnika, koji su u zajedništvu sa župljanima sudjelovali u liturgiji Vazmenoga trodnevlja. Tijekom ovih dana u Međugorju su boravili hodočasnici iz: Koreje, Brazila, Španjolske, Francuske, Italije, Njemačke, Portugala, Ukrajine, Slovačke, Libanona, Japana, SAD-a, Irske, Austrije i Rumunjske. (slike) "Mir vama! Kao što je mene poslao Otac, tako i ja šaljem vas." (Evanđelje po Ivanu 20,21) Svim župljanima, hodočasnicima, prijateljima, dobročiniteljima i svim ljudima dobre volje Sretan i blagoslovljen Uskrs! Župnik i međugorski fratri (slike) Uskrsna cestitka 2012 - Fra Petar Vlasic Veliki Četvrtak, 5. travnja - Ovaj dan, u kojem se Crkva spominje ustanovljenja euharistije i svećeništva, dopušteno je slaviti samo Misu posvete ulja i Misu večere Gospodnje. Misu posvete ulja u Katoličkoj Crkvi slavi samo biskup sa svećenicima u Zbornoj crkvi, odnosno Katedrali. U Međugorju, dakle, toga prijepodneva se ne ispovijeda i nema sv. Misa. Molitva Krunice u međugorskoj župnoj crkvi počinje u 17 sati, a u 18 je svečana sveta Misa Večere Gospodnje. Nakon misnoga slavlja vjernici će imati prigodu za klanjanje i tihu molitvu uz Presveti Sakrament sve do pola noći. Prigoda sa sakrament Ispovijedi je od 16 sati do početka misnoga slavlja. Četrdesetak volontera, članova, simpatizera riječkog prihvatilišta za beskućnike ''Ruže sv. Franje'' boravili su u Međugorju od 31. ožujka do 2.travnja 2012., kako bi zahvalili Kraljici mira za pet godina rada prihvatilišta. Siniša Pucić jedan od volontera u spomenutom prihvatilištu i glavni urednik časopisa ''Ulične svjetiljke'' govorio je za program radiopostaje Mir Međugorje o hodočašću te o prihvatilištu. Cilj rada prihvatilišta je ne samo pružiti najpotrebnijima prenoćište, nego ih prije svega osposobiti za ponovnu integraciju u društvo, ovisno o psihofizičkim i drugim sposobnostima korisnika, provodeći s njima program radne terapije i rehabilitacije. ''Hodočašće je dobra prilika onima koji nam se prvi put pridruže upoznati ih dobro s našim djelovanjem, a Međugorje je uvijek svima draga lokacija za hodočašće''- kazao je Siniša. U Međugorju je 31. ožujka održana duhovna obnova časnih sestara franjevki iz Hrvatske i BiH koje rade u zdravstvenim ili socijalnim ustanovama na kojoj je sudjelovalo 40-ak sestara. Tema je bila: ''Patnja, otajstveni Božji govor'', a duhovnu obnovu je predvodio dr. fra Miljenko Šteko. Jedna od sudionica obnove s. Andrea Nazlić, školska sestra franjevka koja radi u splitskoj bolnici je kazala: ''Djelujemo s ljudima koji pate, zato smo izabrali ovu temu. Vrijeme je da se saberemo i o tome razmišljamo. Ovo mjesto nas posebno vrati k sebi''. Broj podijeljenih sv. pričesti: 92.300 Broj svećenika koncelebranata: 1739 (56 dnevno) Davni običaj u mostarsko duvanjskoj biskupiji je da se čitav tjedan od Glušnice, tj. 5.korizmene nedjelje do Cvjetnice, posveti molitvi protiv psovke u našem narodu. Svi župljani i hodočasnici u Međugorju pozvani su da kroz ovaj tjedan sve svoje molitvene nakane, osobito Križni put u petak, prikažu Bogu kao zadovoljštinu za uvrede koje mu se psovkom nanose. Na Cvjetnicu ili Nedjelju Muke Gospodnje započinje Veliki tjedan, vrhunac priprave za svetkovinu Uskrsnuća Gospodinova. U Međugorju liturgija Cvjetnice 1. travnja započinje na temeljima stare župne crkve u 10,30. Nakon toga u procesiji ide se u župnu crkvu sv. Jakova gdje će se slaviti sv. Misa Muke Gospodnje. Misna slavlja u crkvi su i u 7, 8 te 18 sati. Na svim misama bit će blagoslov grančica. Od 14 sati molit će se krunica na Podbrdu. Dan prije Cvjetnice, u subotu 31. ožujka u međugorskoj župnoj crkvi slavit će se u 18 sati sveta Misa za mlade. Međugorska Frama će svojom pjesmom uveličati ovo misno slavlje. U dvodnevni posjet Međugorju, u ponedjeljak 26. ožujka 2012., došao je trener Manchester Cityja, Roberto Mancini sa svojom obitelji. Sudjelovao je na molitveno liturgijskome programu, obišao međugorska molitvena mjesta i razgovarao s međugorskim franjevcima. U informativnome centru Mir Međugorje održao je i konferenciju za novinare na kojoj je govorio o razlozima posjeta Međugorju, te nekim detaljima iz svijeta športa. Na početku je kazao kako je ovaj posjet Međugorju ispunjenje jedne davno donesene odluke. Prvi put je o Međugorju čuo od jednog svećenika iz Genove, prije više od 25 godina. ''Vjerujem da se radi o jednom posebnom mjestu, doista sam sretan'' - kazao je Roberto Mancini. Govoreći o značenju duhovnosti u svakodnevnom životu, te nogometnoj, odnosno trenerskoj karijeri, Mancini je istaknuo kako vjera ima veliko značenje u njegovom životu. Na kraju je naglasio kako planira ponovno doći u Međugorje, jer je ono za njega posebno mjesto.
