CONCLUSION
OF THE SEMINAR WITH HOLY MASS AT 11,00
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.
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.
