Holy Mass in the parish church of St. James in Medjugorje is, therefore, celebrated in many languages, including a daily Mass in English. Your arrival to Medjugorje will be right at that time, so plan to attend this special event. Depending on the groups of pilgrims present at Medjugorje, other languages would also be heard there, as well as church choirs from different countries. Plan to make good use of your free time. Souvenir shops offer a wide selection of religious items, like rosaries, crosses and statues, whereas bookshops offering spiritual literature in English are also common in Medjugorje. Irish and Italian humanitarian organisations are also active there, so you may decide to pay them a visit.
