The twin-spired parish church at the centre of the village, the focal point of every pilgrimage to Medjugorje. Masses run several times a day in different languages -- Italian, English, Polish, Spanish, German, Korean -- and the schedule is posted outside the door.
The interior is plain and modern, dominated by a large statue of the Virgin behind the altar and by the stained glass behind that. The atmosphere during a packed evening service, with the multilingual prayers rising over the heads of pilgrims of every nationality, is the experience most people come for. Confessions are heard in a long row of wooden booths behind the church, each marked with the language of the priest inside.
