Healing Service in Medjugorje

Fr. Peter Rookey conducts a healing service in a big tent behind St. James Catholic church in Medjugorje on May 12, 1991. He prays over a priest in a wheelchair who gets up and walks on his own afterwards. Father cracks a few good jokes too. He is also shown having dinner with his nephew Tim Rookey and others at the home where they were staying. Less than 2 weeks later, Father celebrated his 50th anniversary of ordination at Our Lady of Sorrows

Fr. Peter Rookey appears briefly in the BBC documentary from 1986 called The Madonna of Medjugorje. He was among a number of priests hearing confessions one day at the shrine church.
