On Wednesday, November 24, under rain and umbrellas, all employees, protégés, relatives and friends of late Fr Slavko, gathered in front of his statue in the center of “Mother’s Village” to mark the tenth anniversary of his death. The prayer was led by our director Fr Svetozar Kraljevic. Seven of Our Fathers prayed the representatives of all Village protégés. In a short sermon Fr Svetozar marked that our mission is to be like Fr Slavko, actually, that each of us on its place, on our mission is called to create.
After the prayer in front of the statue, opening of art exhibition was arranged. The exhibition represented arts of children from “Mother’s Village”. The exhibition was opened in the way that Fr Slavko’s niece Tijana Barbaric hung on a wall painting of little Katarina. Otherwise, these children’s drawings were created during the art therapy in the gallery of the village, under the guidance of academically trained artists. Placing this exhibition we wanted to thank to Fr Slavko for founding the gallery and for the possibility that children learn through art to create beauty and good.

On the day of celebration the tenth anniversary of death of our founder Fr Slavko Barbaric, November 24, two of our famous and best Medjugorje and Croatian tennis players Marin Cilic and Ivan Dodig visited "Mother's Village”. In the company of Fr Svetozar Kraljevic, ofm our director and delighted children from the village, who so cheerful and eager expected them, the guests visited the kindergarten, one house in the village, the gallery, Male Community and Female Community. Wherever they came with their thoughtfulness and simplicity they interested in life and work of our protégés, and especially to children testified that you can’t do anything without persistent training and work.

The Association "JOB" and volunteers of the Association "Stepinac’s oasis of peace" from Zapresic organized a pilgrimage to Medjugorje for the homeless, beggars and poorest from November 13 to November 14, 2010.
The pilgrimage was organized during two days. The first day, on Saturday, they attended the evening program in the St. Jacob’s Church, the second day, on Sunday, after the Mass, there was a tour of the sanctuary, prayer on the Apparition Hill and a visit to Mother's village and Francis garden. There, the pilgrims found out something about the major projects of the late Father Slavko Barbaric.
Association "Job" allowed free transportation, free accommodation and meals to those special pilgrims thanks to four beautiful Medjugorje families who offered them their pensions. President of the Association JOB, reverend Dargutin Goricanec was a spiritual pilgrimage companion, so that prayer and spiritual 4-wheels renewal fulfilled the whole way to Medjugorje and their return to Zagreb.
Otherwise Association "Job" is a humanitarian non-profit association for the conceptualization of life for the persons with disabilities, and a young Association, “Stepinac’s oasis of peace " from Zapresic, was established on the initiative of the community prayer members of Blessed Alojsije Stepinac. It promotes the Christian values: love, peace and kindness toward man, whose life is in any way difficult and trying to live according to Stepinac’s motto, “In you I trust the Lord. Your will be done!
A young volunteer of the Association Kristine Petrusic testifies: "We realized and claim that if there were no sick people, homeless, poor and disabled, human life on this planet Earth would be extinguished long time ago. Humanity would be so increased in arrogance that it would led to extinction. This way to us healthy and full was offered a chance to invoke love not only by words but also by deeds. However, passengers have the opportunity to present their suffering to God for the self sanctification and sanctification of the whole world."
