Picture & Brief Description of Visionary Jozo

 

Father Jozo was the parish priest of Medjugorje at the time the visions began in June of 1981. At first he did not believe but later he became a crusader for the events taking place. This resulted in his imprisonment for about 1 1/2 years, which has cause him physical harm which he suffers from his imprisonment till this day. After years of greeting pilgrims and talking about the apparitions in Medjugorje, exhausted Fr. Jozo went on Sabbatical for three year in Austria. Recent news media reports in December 2011 claim that Fr. Jozo will return to his home Franciscan monastery in Zagreb very soon. Father will no longer speak about Medjugorje to pilgrims while the 4th Medjugorje Commission is investigating the apparitions. The 4th Medjugorje Commission was formed in March 2011, after the failure of 3 previous Commissions.
