Medjugorje – My Travels to the Youth Festival of 2022

Apr 25, 2024 | Community

Kevin Kozub was a member of the group from St. Francis that traveled last month to Medjugorje for the 2022 Youth Festival. Here is his testimony of his time there:

“I don’t think I have experienced a place as holy as Medjugorje. Hundreds of priests saying Mass in front of me and giving out Holy Communion. Confession offered in virtually every language. Thousands of people attending Mass, praying the rosary, and offering Adoration every day. My faith grew on this trip and so did my self-awareness. Now, I try to look inward every day and ask myself, “Am I living my Catholic faith? Am I doing and accepting God’s will? Was I in service of others today?”

If you are struggling with something and looking for peace in your life, I suggest you take this pilgrimage. It helped me get closer to God and I believe it can do the same for everyone.”
