The Mystical Visions of St. Bridget: Private Island Retreat & Medjugorje

This pilgrimage is offered as a Land Only Package. Participants are responsible for arranging and covering the cost of their own air travel for the Rooted in Faith: Private Island Retreat with Roy Schoeman and Medjugorie Pilgrimage.

Arrival Information:

Airport: St. Jerome Airport (SPU)
Date: Sunday June 21, 2026 (Day 1 of the pilgrimage)
Flight Arrival Time: Before 1:00 PM (Local Time). This arrival time allows approximately 1/2 hour to retrieve baggage before the group transfer.
Transfer: A group transfer will depart at 1:30 PM from the airport to the port at Orebić, followed by a private boat transport to the Island of Badija. Participants must arrive in time to join this scheduled group transfer.

If a Participant misses the group transfer, they will be responsible for arranging and covering the cost of transportation to the island, either the same day or the following day. While ITVP may provide general guidance when possible, ITVP staff and the group will depart as scheduled, and the group transfer will not be delayed due to flight delays.

PLEASE NOTE: $500 Donation Requirement

As part of this Pilgrimage cost, a donation of $500 per person is required. The pilgrimage cost has been intentionally structured so the required donation does not increase the overall expense. The required $500 donation directly supports the Bridgettine Sisters in Ohio in their efforts to build a dedicated chapel for prayer, worship, and community life. Please note that this donation is in addition to the cost of the pilgrimage.

To complete your registration, the $500 donation must be received within five (5) business days of your initial booking. If the donation is not received within this period, your initial booking will be cancelled.

A link for making your tax-deductible donation will be provided in the Welcome Letter you receive upon registration. You will receive a tax receipt for this donation following the conclusion of the pilgrimage.
