Ann Vucic was born in a village a few miles from Medjugorje, Bosnia-Herzegovina. Her
family left communist Yugoslavia when she was two years old and settled in Chicago. In the
summer of 1981, at the age of fifteen, Ann returned to her homeland for a summer vacation and shortly after that, the apparitions of Our Lady began. Ann witnessed the beginning days
and months of Our Lady's apparitions in Medjugorje. This led to a radical conversion in her life, and a burning desire to help others encounter that same transformative power of God.
Upon completing Bachelor’s degrees in Theology and Psychology and a Master’s degree in Social Work, Ann worked as a social worker for many years. In 1999, she left her career to
pursue her passion, evangelization. Her ministry has led her in many directions: organizing
and leading pilgrimages and retreats; interpreting for Medjugorje visionaries and priests throughout the USA and beyond; sharing her personal testimony; speaking about
Medjugorje and other faith-related topics at retreats, conferences, and parishes around the
country. She also hosts a radio show on “Radio Maria USA” called Medjugorje: Message of
Hope for the World.
Most recently, Ann was asked to be the consultant and Executive Producer on a major
Hollywood motion picture about Medjugorje, currently in pre-production. This is an exciting project, whose goal is to bring the message of Medjugorje to millions of people all over the
world.
Ann’s experience as one of the earliest witnesses to the events in Medjugorje gives her a
unique perspective, which few people have, on the apparitions and their significance for our
times. Her powerful testimony, engaging delivery, as well as her expertise on the subject,
will captivate and inspire you.

Colleen Willard will share with us her powerful and anointed testimony that has been shared throughout the world, in Parishes both in the US
and abroad, Cathedrals and Basilica’s, Catholic Schools and Universities, Marian Conferences, Radio/publications, and also as Host, along with her husband John, for the Shalom World Television Program, “You are Mine”, all bearing witness to the True, Healing Presence of Jesus in the Holy Eucharist, and Our Blessed Mother’s
presence in the world today!
Journey with her has she shares the unfolding of events in their family life after she was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor and in 24 hour pain. It is a talk that will bring profound awareness to the fruits of suffering and the joy in carrying the Cross!
You will be captivated to hear the movements of the Holy Spirit and Our Blessed Mother’s intercession as she and her husband, John,
were led to take a pilgrimage, not to seek a healing, but to pray for all those she would leave behind.
While in Medjugorje, she was prayed over by visionary Vicka and experienced an intense heat unlike anything she had ever felt before. It was only a short time after upon reception of Holy Communion, all the 24 hour pain immediately left, and she was able to get up out of
her wheelchair and climb the Hill of Apparitions!
It is a talk you will not want to miss, and one that you will not forget, as she draws us to an even closer awareness of the Love of the Blessed
Trinity, God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, through the Heart of Mary, Our Mother, Queen of Peace!
