Medjugorje Pilgrimage
Led by Fr. Joe Rice
Departs from Boston on September 21, 2021
Returns on September 30, 2021
Fr. Joe Invites You on This 10-Day Journey!
Medjugorje, a small village in Bosnia-Herzegovina, has become one of the most popular sites of Catholic pilgrimage due to the visitation of Our Lady of Medjugorje to six local children in 1981. This alleged series of apparitions of the Virgin Mary is still happening to this day. The name Medjugorje literally means, "between mountains." The messages attributed to Our Lady of Medjugorje have a strong following among Catholics worldwide.
People go on pilgrimage for as many reasons as there are pilgrims. And, you don’t have to be religious to go on pilgrimage!
Often, people go on pilgrimage when they are at a crossroads in their lives-- when undergoing a change in their life’s direction or relationships. Others may be in search of a deeper spirituality, healing, and forgiveness. Or it may be that pilgrimage marks a special birthday, retirement, or other occasion for giving thanks. It’s also a great adventure with the chance to meet new people and see new places.
For Christians, the reasons for going on pilgrimage might be:
- To set aside time for God and feel closer to him.
- To discern his will and guidance at times of transition or difficulty.
- To be strengthened in faith.
- To feel inspired by the communion of saints who have gone before us.

A MERRY CHRISTMAS THANK YOU
From the Interfaith Giving Tree Program
We asked you to help with our Interfaith Giving Tree Program with donations and gift cards and you answered with the love and generosity that you always do! Even without trees at the back of the church and tags for you to pick from, you still opened your hearts and your wallets and brought Christmas joy to over 170 families in Westborough.
With help from the Women of St. Luke's, the St. Luke's Young at Heart Group, the Knights of Columbus, the Westborough Civic Club, the Westborough Women's Club, the Westborough Rotary Club, In Your Shoes and the other five Christian churches in town we were able to give a $50 gift card to over 400 children, as well as a $25 grocery gift card to each family. Also, 120 new jackets donated by the Knights of Columbus and the Kids' Coat Club were distributed.
God's love was felt throughout Westborough this year because of all of you and we thank you and wish you a healthy and Happy New Year! May 2021 bring joy and peace to each of you!
