Sister Muriel of Medjugorje
Sister Muriel is from Boston, MA and is a member of the Congregation of the
Sisters of Our Lady of the Cenacle from New York, USA. "After forty years
of doing retreat work, I had a longing desire to do mission work with the poor
and destitute. My congregation gave me permission. In the midst of the Bosnia
War in 1992 I arrived in Medugorje. During these years, things were very hectic.
I found myself and pilgrims (volunteers) aiding the victims of the war. The
people of this country were in desperate need of everything (medical supplies,
food, clothing and shelter). Many pilgrims from Europe, United States, Australia
and Canada were arriving to assist in the war effort. For many of them, I became
their contact, the worker in the field. Mostar at that time was in shambles. I
lived in Medugorje but did most of my work in Mostar. At the end of the war,
many refugees and returnees were coming back only to find their homes completely destroyed.
They needed roofs, stoves, food and clothing which I provided through the
generosity of pilgrims. Our ministry is totally supported through donations from
pilgrims and a few private donations from the States. The people of Ireland have
been very supportive of my work. I base my ministry on Divine Providence,
knowing that the good lord will provide for the work he wants me to accomplish.
