Success Stories

Since the year 2000, pilgrims and volunteers traveling to Medjugorje with us have assisted St. Clare by personally carrying duffel bags (donated by Lands End Corporation) filled with donated supplies. Tons of food, clothing, medicine, baby products, etc. have been delivered to Mostar Hospital, Ravno Health Clinic, Children's Homes in and around Medjugorje, and to families and individuals in great need with no way of obtaining assistance.
