Messages to Mirjana Print

Given to the visionary Mirjana Soldo on September 2, 2010
"Dear children, I am beside you because I desire to help you to overcome trials, which this time of purification puts before you. My children, one of those is not to forgive and not to ask for forgiveness. Every sin offends Love and distances you from it – and Love is my Son. Therefore, my children, if you desire to walk with me towards the peace of God’s love, you must learn to forgive and to ask for forgiveness. Thank you."



A Medjgorje Miracle Print


A Boy named Daniel visiting Medjgorje dies and comes back to life.

A boy named Daniel, along with his mother, father, and a good male friend, traveled to Medjugorje for its Youth Festival, which occurred July 31st through August 6th, 2010.

During one of the days of their pilgrimage, toward the end of the festival week, they decided to travel to the beautiful Kravice Waterfall, located ten kilometers outside of Medjugorje, near the town of Mostar in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

They were hardly alone on their pilgrimage. Over 50,000 youth and more than 500 priests came from around the world to attend the popular festival. During a large midday gathering, one of the Franciscan priests in Medjugorje made a brief announcement, asking everyone to pray for a young man named Daniel. Then there was silence. Nothing more was said. The priest didn’t share any details. No one knew at the time why they were praying for him.

Auctions in August 2010! Print

Monday, August 2nd – Tuesday, August 31st

The MIR Group has taken the opportunity to participate in the 2010 Gulf Coast Banks' Auctions in August Fundraising Event.  Several items were donated by area businesses to the MIR Group to be included in the auction. The monies collected from the sales of these items in the auction, will go directly back to the MIR Group.  Please, take a few minutes to browse the items in the auction at www.auctionsinaugust.com. All of the items for the MIR Group were dropped off at the Veterans Blvd branch (near Bonnabel). Thank you in advance for your support with this event, and all of our fundraising efforts!

“Auctions in August” is Gulf Coast Bank & Trust's silent auction event that is hosted at each of our 16 branches. The items available for bidding are donated by various organizations and individuals to be auctioned for specific charities, schools and other non-profit groups. The auction is open to everyone, bank employees, customers and the general public. Each branch houses several items for people to bid on, encouraging people to visit multiple branches to get the most out of their auction experience. All of the items are available for viewing on the auction website. Bidding on items located in a branch must be done in the branch or by phone, please check the “How to Participate” page for more details. There will be some items available for online bidding only. Check back soon to see which items will be available to bid online.

“Auctions in August” was created in the spring of 2008 as a community fundraising event. Our goal was to assist as many organizations in their fundraising efforts as we ever had before. This event allows us to work with the community to raise money for more than 200 organizations. Each year, the event grows larger and we hope to reach our $100,000 goal very soon

Prayers for the Seriously Ill

Sojourners of the Burning Heart Print

The Sojourners of the Burning Heart is a prayer based youth group made up of teens and young adults. For the past four years, the Sojourners have had the tremendous blessing and opportunity to travel to Medugorje, in Bosnia-Herzegovina, where apparitions of the Blessed Mother have been appearing to six visionaries for the past 28 years. On top of this trip, the Sojourners also have prayer meetings several times a month to keep the fire flowing. A great devotion to the Blessed Mother has grown within the group, and the Sojourners have looked to Our Lady in prayer so that the group may come closer to Jesus Christ, through His Blessed Mother.

The Sojourners of the Burning Heart is an open group, and anyone and everyone is invited to join!!! 

This group is run by Mrs. Tammy Dupuy. Her contact information is as followed:
