Please note that some of the destinations serviced by the Medjugorje Centre of Canada require physical fitness and some walking, sometimes up/or down the hills and at times very rough terrain. You may certainly stay behind for certain parts of the journey.

However, we cannot guarantee and are not responsible for any denial of services by carriers, hotels, restaurants, or other independent suppliers.
Please be aware that all of our pilgrimages are operated outside of Canada where the Canadian laws and regulations concerning people with disabilities may not be applicable, and facilities for disabled individuals are limited.
