The Men of Mir is a Catholic Ministry of Men, which is dedicated to spreading the word of Christ and the Blessed Mother
"Our pilgrimage had a profound effect on my life. I really didn't have a true understanding of the Blessed Mother's role in the church and the power of her intercession. This highlight of the trip was being present for the apparition when she appeared. It was the purest moment I have ever experienced."
Robert Hale, New Orleans, LA
"Medjugorje was not a place I ever had a desire to go to but in my spiritual journey, being faced with an 18 month undiagnosed illness , and being told I may have had Lymphoma or Muscular Dystrophy, I began to push in trying to find Christ in the situation and in my life. In doing so He led me to Medjugorje with the call to also invite other men. My true intentions for Medjugorje were to be healed of my illness but Jesus had a bigger plan for my life. He united all 7 of the men on this trip in a bond that only brothers feel and He asked us as a group of brothers to go back into our families and communities and to live and profess the Word of God. In doing so our group is being used to reach out to all men and encourage them to push forth with discovering Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, through the intercession of the Blessed Mother."

"I found myself going to Medjugorje for selfish motives. I went with the desire to save my family. As my journey unfolded it became apparent it was not about me. As I opened my heart and trusted in God, I began to feel a change. I started to feel the love of Mary come over me which allowed me to see the world differently and the desire to help all men save their families ."
Glen Vega, Metairie, LA
"Medjugorje is a beautiful most holy place . It allowed me to open my heart and surrender to God and to trust in him . It prepared me to receive His divine mercy. While in the presence of the apparition I felt the unconditional love of the Blessed Mother fill my heart, it was such a gentle love yet so powerful . It is this love that fills all of Medjugorje and all go there ."
Roland Deleon, Marrero, LA
"I found Medjugorje to be a school of holiness where Our Lady is the teacher. She teaches us to pray and to love God in a true and divine way. We experienced community through Holy Mass, through reconciliation, through the rosary and through adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. I believe that a pilgrimage should bring us closer in relationship to God setting in motion a personal transformation, and we should return with a new commitment and love for God that will benefit the community."
