Day 1: Departure from USA.
Day 2: Arrive in Split. Check into hotel. Dinner and overnight in Split.
Day 3: Spend the day in Split and Diocletian’s Palace, built in 305 AD for the Roman Emperor Diocletian. Over the centuries, the city of Split has grown up around Diocletian’s Palace, and during this time, many of the Palace’s buildings have remained intact. Diocletian’s Palace is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. St. Domnius Cathedral is located within Diocletian’s Palace. This is the oldest Catholic cathedral in the world, completed in the 7th century AD. At the palace's heart is Peristil, an imperial square flanked by two colonnades where Emperor Diocletian once addressed the public. The People’s Square – Pjaca is located in the area once occupied by the Diocletian’s Palace, west of the Peristyle. Dating from the 15th century, the People’s Square (Narodni Trg Pjaca) in Split features many interesting Renaissance, Venetian, and Gothic buildings built by the nobility. The Marjan Peninsula sits just to the west of the Old Town. A series of trails crisscross their way over the peninsula. For another great view of the city, consider the stroll up Marjan Hill. Dinner and overnight in Split.

This morning at 10am we assemble at St. James Church for the English-language Mass (Feast days and Sundays English Mass is at Noon). Follow the path up Apparition Hill where the visionaries first encountered Our Lady. Touch and pray before the cross that commemorates the spot where Mary first appeared to the visionaries.

The apparition takes place at 5:40pm or 6:40pm daylight savings time, and then you may stay for the Croatian Mass. On Tuesdays and Saturdays there is an Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. Each evening during the Croatian Mass, there is the Blessing of the Sick in which time you may have personal items Blessed.
