Round Trip Airfare to Medjugorje $460

As many of you know, my son is trying to assist others visit Medjugorje after having witnessed a miracle there earlier this year.  I remained amazed at how deeply this experience has affected his life, as I hadn't considered Kenny a very deeply religious person.  He spends a lot of time helping others learn about and visit Medjugorje.  Of course, he doesn't make a dime in these efforts.

Although R.T. airfare is generally around $1200 to visit a European country, Kenny's research has uncovered R.T. airfare for $460 at this time:  March 31 - April 7, 2019.  Flights are from Seattle, but he's working on a van/bus from our area.  With hotels and transfer expenses, he estimates a budget of about $850p.p. for the week.   For those of us on a tight budget, this is as good as it gets, and makes a pilgrimage possible.  For others who can afford the $2000++ organized pilgrimages - more power to them.

I'm just trying to get the word out - to those interested in visiting or learning more about Medjugorje. I do believe it is legitimate, and will eventually be approved like Fatima and Lourdes.  Why is Mary appearing there?  Who can know the mind of God?  But I figure that if He wants his Mother to appear somewhere, then it must be important to pay attention.

The Vatican's commission, headed by Cardinal Ruini concluded their 3 1/2 year study and have overwhelmingly voted favorably for approval of the initial apparitions as genuine and worthy of belief.  (Constat de Supernaturalitate).  The ongoing apparitions remain under study.  The pope hasn't ruled yet, but assigned Archbishop Henryk Hoser as the Vatican's Papal Envoy to oversee the parish - who also believes it is legit.  Like other Marian apparitions of the past, approval just doesn't happen while the event is ongoing.
