Amazing news given by a priest at the Marian Conference in California:
A Croatian priest Fr. Joseph Grbes gave everyone a little update at a Medjugorje Peace conference in Irvine, CA in the U.S. Throughout these 30 years of apparitions in Medjugorje there were: 540,000 registered priests, Bishops, Cardinals, and religious visited Medjugorje (These are "registered" so as father stated when he spoke.
God only knows how many came that were unregistered.) 27,000,000 communions 532 proven and documented healings that are recorded at the parish. 520 men became priests directly related to a pilgrimage to Medjugorje.(We know that 85 American, 36 German, 11 Irish so far.) 123 women became nuns directly related to a pilgrimage to Medjugorje.
During the Youth Festival there were 525 priests there and 450 for the evening prayer service and Mass.
Reverend Joseph Grbes, OFM was born in Rama, Bosnia-Herzegovina. He joined the Franciscan Order in 1986 and studied in Bosnia-Hercegovina, England and the USA. He presently serves in Chicago as Pastor of St. Jerome Croatian Parish, while continuing his post-graduate work in pastoral theology at the Catholic Theological Union in Chicago. A young man when the Medjugorje visions began in 1981, Father has studied Our Lady’s messages throughout these 30 years and encourages all to respond to her urgent call to conversion and peace.
