That is mischaracterized. It is NOT approved by the Catholic Church or the local bishop and is very controversial. I am not saying Medjugorje is in all respects an illusion or a hoax, but he would do better to investigate Fatima, Lourdes, etc.
From the local parish newsletter...
Missing from main sacristy (Please help) A paper bag containing 50 bright brass St. Benedict medal pendant crucifixes has disappeared from the sacristy counter where it was left in December. The crucifixes are 3” and have flared or budded tips. The corpus and inserted medal are silver colored. These items were blessed in Medjugorje and their loss is very upsetting.
If you know anything about these missing items please
call Mary Palmer at 264-2356/269-0785 or the church office.
Return (all or partial) accepted with no questions asked.
