* Note on Special Needs (if any):
(1) Dietary needs (food allergies, diets for diabetics, etc.) Although we cannot guarantee, we will try to accommodate each special meal request on flights as well as at hotels. Please advise us of such a request at the time of booking. We will convey your dietary requests to the kitchen staff at our residence in Medjugorje, but there are no guarantees that these needs can be met.
The Medjugorje Centre of Canada pilgrimage includes two meals per day (breakfast and dinner). In case you chose not to have a meal, there is no refund for unused meals.
(2) Mobility assistance. Please be advised that pilgrims have to board a coach for transfer between the airport and Medjugorje; and we will be taking the coach to our programme sites. The coach is not equipped with wheelchair ramps or lifts.
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.
(3) Medical conditions of those who need special assistance. You might consider reporting any disability requiring special attention to the Medjugorje Centre of Canada at the time of registration. We keep all medical information confidential. We will make every effort to accommodate disabled passengers by reserving for them wheelchair assistance at airports and handicap accessible rooms where available. 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. We regret that we cannot provide individual assistance to any participant for walking, dining, while in their room, on flight, getting on and off motor coaches and other vehicles, or other personal needs.
Qualified and physically able companion(s) must accompany pilgrims who need special assistance. It is the pilgrim’s responsibility to arrange for such assistance prior to making reservations.
The Medjugorje Centre of Canada is not responsible for any medical condition that occurs prior to, during, or after the pilgrimage. Additionally, airlines are not able to guarantee or provide assistance for disabled passengers, including special seating.
The Medjugorje Centre of Canada is not responsible for any cancellations, loss, delays, injury, illness, or expenses incurred due to actions made by the airlines. For any issues which arise in relation to airline service complaints and compensation should be addressed to the specific carrier.
Nursing mothers and pregnant women considering international travel are advised to evaluate potential problems associated with lengthy travel as well as the quality of medical care available at the destination and during transit. A pregnant woman is advised to be with at least one adult companion; her level of comfort may be adversely affected during the trip.
