Mother's Village

Mother's Village, which is located just outside Medjugorje, was built in 1993 and maintained by pilgrims and donors from around the world to protect the children who had witnessed the destruction and devastation from the war by losing homes and parents.  Mother's Village consists of 7 homes built by 7 different countries to house and care for the orphans.  Fr. Slavko Barbaric entrusted the care of the children to the Franciscan Sisters.  Today, there are 30 orphans and staff operating within Mother's Village, plus the other programs listed below.  They all operate on Divine Providence and, since COVID, there are no pilgrims in Medjugorje.  The village is suffering great financial difficulties.  Your donations are so welcomed and appreciated.

Under the umbrella of Mother's Village:

• The Children's Village (orphanage)
• St. Therese, The Little Flower Day Care Center (day care for children)
• The Community of Mother Krispana (home for women in abusive situation)
• The Community of Merciful Fathers (home for men with addiction issues)
• The Garden of St. Francis (meditation garden)
