The silence that heals
Tucked beside St. James Church, the Adoration Chapel is one of the most sacred and peaceful spaces in Medjugorje. While the hills and outdoor devotions draw large crowds, this chapel invites you to step into silence, to simply sit before the Eucharistic Jesus and let Him speak to your heart.
For many pilgrims, this is where true peace begins.
