April 2026 will mark 33 years, probably around the time of the April 1993 message, that Richard Bingold, first visited Medjugorje as a pilgrim and picked up the stones that would make The Pilgrim Rosary of Our Lady of Medjugorje.   He returned in April 1994 for Father Jozo's blessing on the Pilgrim Rosary and Our Lady's viewing, approving, accepting and blessing it in her daily apparition with Vicka.  Below is a video of Richard telling the story of making the Pilgrim Rosary in Medjugorje, April 1998, to a group of visiting pilgrims. 

March 18, 2025 – Annual Apparition to Mirjana Soldo – Message from Our Lady of MedjugorjeThe visionary Mirjana Dragicevic-Soldo had daily apparitions from June 24th 1981 to December 25th 1982. During the last daily apparition, Our Lady gave her the 10th secret, and told her that she would appear to her once a year, on the 18th of March. It has been this way through the years. The apparition lasted from  13:30 to 13:35.
”Dear children! With motherly love I implore you: give me your hands folded in prayer, give me your hearts cleansed in confession and I will lead you to my Son. Because, my children, only my Son, with His light, can illuminate the darkness; only He, with His Word, can remove suffering. Therefore, do not be afraid to walk with me, because I am leading you to my Son –  salvation. Thank you.”  (March 18, 2025)
