Our Lady of Medjugorje Međugorje

The Blessed Mother is reported as appearing in Međugorje currently. These alleged apparitions have been investigated by the Church and the Church currently holds a neutral position on these apparitions. As with any apparition that is pending approval or disapproval, this apparition is very controversial. The Church maintains its neutral but cautious approach while dealing with this apparition.

(We present this information so that you will have continuing and updated information on the Church's position and the events that are taking place in Međugorje. Keep in mind that these apparitions are not yet approved or disapproved by the Church, and making a decision either way would be a misrepresentation of the truth.)
