The Grandparents Home

This beautiful development within a few kilometres of Medjugorje is now fully operational and in September 2007 Bishop Brendan Comiskey from Ireland celebrated Holy Mass in the ground floor Chapel with fellow Irish pilgrims, staff and residents. This was a very joyful occasion and heart warming for everyone attending. The home is situated beside the orphanage in Vionica and it brings great joy, especially to the elderly residents, to have people visit them. A loving “hug” means so much to these poor people, even from a complete stranger. May God grant you many of His graces for your support for “the least of His”.

The original concept behind this building was that it would house the grandparents of the children in the orphanage. Sadly, those children had lost all their parents during the dark days of the Yugoslav wars. Not one mother or father survived the atrocities. Some of the grandparents are still alive and are so happy to be living in clean, comfortable surroundings. They are well fed and cared for and there are medical facilities on the premises should they become ill. Some of the elderly people from the nearby refugee camp are now being accommodated at the Home too.
