The Queen of Peace Centre is a
Catholic Lay Apostolate ![]() ![]() The Centre was inspired by events in Medjugorje, a small Croatian village in Bosnia and Hercegovina, where it is believed by many people that, Mary, the Mother of God, is appearing to six visionaries. Her call to conversion and return to God was heard particularly by the founders of the Centre. After they returned from pilgrimages to Medjugorje, they wanted to continue to pray together and spread this call further. We realize that these events are not yet recognized by the Church. They belong to the area of private revelation and it is not necessary for salvation to believe in them. The Church will decide if and when it is appropriate to declare whether these events are authentic or not, and we will be obedient to that decision. Also, we will be sensitive and respectful of those who choose not to believe in apparitions. In the meantime, members of the Centre wish to respond to the call of Mary, our Mother, to prayerfully listen to Her and with God's grace respond more deeply to His love for us. We also dedicate this Centre to Mary, Queen of Peace. We thank Her and place ourselves into Her hands as She leads us to Her Son, Jesus. |
