Bikers prepare for weekend in Medjugorje


Hundreds of bikers are preparing to gather in Medjugorje next month for a three-day pilgrimage. It is the fourth year that the bikers from as far away as Austria, Italy, Slovenia, Macedonia and nearer to home Croatia, Serbia and Bosnia, have participated in the project organised by the Brontnjo Motorcycle Club.

As well as joining in the prayer programme and climbing Apparition Hill and Mt Krizevac, the pilgrimage bikers will also plan to visit Mostar.


The riders will repeat their traditional parade through Medjugorje and afterwards meet with one of the visionaries, Ivan, to listen to his testimony. This will be followed by a blessing of bikes and riders.

As well as raising funds for Mother’s Village the bikers will be encouraged to discover new paths on their pilgrimage to Medjugorje and foster new friendships with each other.

The weekend Motorcycle Pilgrimage gets underway on Friday, 11th May and finishes after the morning Mass on Sunday 13th May
