It was on a pilgrimage to Medjugorje that I consecrated myself to Our Lady. After going to holy confession I would not return home the same person! That year I continued to return to Medjugorje, and after many pilgrimages, I felt the call to religious life. I discerned with the Franciscan Brothers Minor, and went on my first visit to the religious order and continued for a second visit. It was on this second visit I felt there was something else. I knew I needed to return to Medjugorje for a personal pilgrimage to discern. That journey lasted two and a half months. While there on discernment, I felt in my heart to bring pilgrims, in a special way, to this holy place.  Sharing my experience with Josip Elez, who is like a brother, is when everything fell into place. After speaking with my spiritual director, we started to bring pilgrims to Medjugorje, which is how the agency first launched. Through much prayer and much sacrifice, the journey began.
