Although we tried to keep this site simple and focused more as a stepping stone to the messages of Gospa and the miracles of Medjugorje, it took on a life of it's own and didn't remain as simple as we first hoped. Still, we're proud of the information and clarification we're able to provide for such an astounding phenomenon and readily acknowledge that this could not have happened were it not for the help, advice and encouragement of some very special people. We'd like to take this opportunity to publicly thank them for all of their contributions, great and small and give you one of the roses that represent the presence of Gospa in our lives.
To all of you.. Thank you!
Thank you to Father Rick Velie of St. Christopher's Church in Florida. It was Father's Rick's stories of an earlier pilgrimage that sparked our keen interest in Medjugorje and began a journey of curiosity and research that still hasn't peaked. His continued prayers and blessings for us as we bring this project to completion are so very much appreciated.
Thank you to Mike Caiola of New Jersey. His own personal experiences following his pilgrimage to Medjugorje in October of 1998 gave great insight to this project. Mike also was generous with his memories, experiences and photos, all of which were put to good use!
Thank you to Bill Coles of New York for his immediate and invaluable assistance converting video tape into usable .jpg photos for use on this site. His generosity, sharing his equipment and knowledge is appreciated.
Thank you to Jim Cameron, Deanna Smith and the MontRose Prayer Group in Iowa provided invaluable information, support and much needed prayers as we progressed in the development of this site.
Thank you Steve Shawl, webmaster of The Medjugorje Web (http://www.medjugorje.org) for the generous use of parts of his site and permission of the early photos of the Visionaries. You gave us our first rose, Steve enabling us to focus and proceed with confidence.
Thank you to Rev. Johann G. Roten, S.M. of The Marian Library / International Marian Research Institute, University of Dayton for his help identifying parts of the Rosary.
Thank you Carlos Legcevic of the Croatian MIR Center for his help, correction and advice with the history detailed in the Medjugorje page. You're a great teacher!
Thank you especially to Paul of Heaven's Magic Web Design. Paul embraced this project immediately having no knowledge of the miracles or stories of Medjugorje, just knowing he'd have a lot of work to do. And he did. He applied his time, knowledge, skill and creativity in ways that were truly inspired and made this entire project possible.
All of your contributions were wonderful and we ask that you continue to keep us in your prayers as we keep you in ours.
Thank you!
Helen and Paul
