Fr Charles Becker

Fr Charles Becker is a priest of the Archdiocese of Chicago. Three years after his ordination in 1986 he was invited to go to Medjugorje. Upon his return he was introduced to the prayer group format of the Marian Movement of Priests, based on Our Lady’s messages to Fr Stefano Gobbi of Milan, Italy. These experiences, coupled with his Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary in October 1990, began to change Father’s whole perspective on his life as a priest, on the Church and on the world. He began to develop prayer groups of the Marian Movement of Priests and other Marian Rosary groups throughout the Archdiocese, in response to Our Lady’s call to prayer, in order to assist others who had similar experiences. Father has assisted on approximately two to three trips to Medjugorje each year since 1990, and has taken part in the annual International Marian Movement of Priests Retreat in Italy since 1997. He has been a guest homilist on EWTN. For more, visit frcharliebecker.org.

Since June 24, 1981, six young people in a village in Herzegovina have reported daily apparitions of Our Lady. Whatever the Church ultimately determines, what is beyond dispute is what has grown there: millions of pilgrims, countless confessions, and a rhythm of prayer that has not stopped in over forty years.

Our groups stay in the guest house of the visionary Mirjana Soldo and her husband Marko, with the licensed local guide Miki Musa. Days are unhurried: morning Mass in English, the climbs of Apparition Hill and Cross Mountain for those who wish, the evening rosary and Mass at St James, and Adoration in the open air.

You will walk a good deal, some of it over rough stone. You will also be fed, looked after, and given room to pray.

Triumph Pilgrimages invites you on a pilgrimage of a lifetime, with accommodations in the guest house of Mirjana Soldo!

Arrive in Croatia and transfer by private, air-conditioned bus to the holy village and the guest home of Mirjana and Marko Soldo, with local tour guide Miki Musa.
