The leaders of the Seminar for Priests are:
Father Damir Pavić was born on 9 November 1971 in Vareš. His native parish Vijaka was dedicated to the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary. He is a member of the province Bosna Srebrena. He was ordained on 29 June 2005 in Sarajevo. He worked in the parish Fojnica, the parish Okučani and for the last four years he has served in the parish of the Birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary on Brestovski. Upon Virgin Mary’s intercession, he felt the love for the call of the priest in Međugorje.
Father Marinko Šakota was born in Čitluk in 1968. He completed
the elementary school, as well as the first class of the High school in Čitluk. Then he felt the Franciscan calling and went to the
Franciscan seminary in Visoko where he completed the
second class of the Grammar school, and the remaining two he completed in the Jesuit
Grammar School in Dubrovnik where he later graduated. He put on the Franciscan
habit on July 15,
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.
For the purpose of the seminar organization and your
safety, please consider yourself registered for seminar only when you receive
our written confirmation. If you did not receive our reply, it means that we
have not received your application and that you are not registered, because you
forwarded your e-mail to a wrong address or you have got a virus which blocks
your e-mails automatically. Consequently, you may consider yourself registered
for the seminar only if you received a positive response.
