The leader of the Seminar for Priests is Father  Ivan Manduric, born in Posusje in 1962, where he completed elementary and high school. He then graduated at the Faculty of Architecture in Zagreb, served actively in the recent Homeland War and worked afterwards in public and private companies as the architect. At the age of 37, in 1999, he joined the order of Society of Jesus and ten years afterwards, in 2009, he was ordained as a priest. He was studying Theology in Zagreb and Rome. After he was ordained, he served for one year as the assistant parish priest in Jordanovac parish. One year afterwards, his order appointed him to work with the youth in the Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Zagreb, where he still works, especially through the Association Student's Catholic Centre that he is conducting as the chairman and the spiritual leader. He is especially involved in numerous programmes for the Youth formation thanks to this Association.

 

 

 

 

 

You may make reservations by e-mail: seminar.marija@medjugorje.hr, or by fax: +387-36-651-999 (for Marija Dugandzic).

The parishioners of the Međugorje parish will provide free accommodation to all priests during the seminar as they have done in the previous years. We kindly ask all priests who are organising their own accommodation with friends in Međugorje to list the name, surname and telephone number of the family with whom they have organised accommodation in their registration form. Priests who do not have acquaintances and the possibility of directly organising accommodation with families should make a note of this in their registration form and we will organise it for them.

Instead of a monetary payment, we ask you to kindly celebrate five Holy Masses for this intention.

It is necessary to bring with you: your celebret given by your superior, an alb and stole, a Bible.

 Many priests who do not have access to Internet may not have been informed about the existence of this international meeting in Medjugorje. Therefore, we kindly ask all Organisers of pilgrimages, Prayer Groups and Centres for Peace to publish this information as widely as possible by all means at their disposal, so that as many priests as possible may participate. In as much as it is possible, we also kindly ask you to financially assist the priests who would like to come but do not have the necessary funds for such a journey. We thank you in advance and pray for God’s blessing and the blessing of the Queen of Peace upon you and your work.
