We are thankful that the Sisters of the Precious Blood established the Shrine as a place of peace, prayer, and hospitality so many years ago. They have prayed for and touched so many generations of families who frequent the Shrine. The Shrine Circle was established to support the funding needed to keep this place of Spiritual Nourishment operating for generations to come.
This opportunity offers 5 levels of giving, each depicted by one of the five stained glass windows in the Relic Chapel. As you contemplate the depiction of each window, may you appreciate the honor these saints bring the people who made the Shrine what it is today, and be inspired to choose the annual giving opportunity that calls to you.
Click below to learn more about the giving levels. Once you've determined which is right for you, contact Diana to Join the Circle!
