It was such a joy to welcome our friends from Watertown, NY, to the shrine this past weekend.

We enjoyed having the group stay with us in our cabins. It was a beautiful, spirit-filled visit from celebrating 4 pm Mass together on Saturday to sharing dinner. As the sun set, we gathered for the Stations of the Cross and the Sacrament of Reconciliation, which made for a peaceful and meaningful time of reflection.

We’re so grateful for the time we got to spend with all of you. Please come back and see us again soon!

Shrine staff just installed two newly made memorial benches donated by individuals in memory of their deceased loved ones. The additional benches rounded out the seating in front of the granite statue of St. Anne with her daughter the Blessed Mother. We currently have two available locations for additional benches in front of the A-Frame grotto which houses a statue of St. Anne and holds devotional candles. If you are interested in more information about donating a bench in memory of a loved one, please contact Fr. Brian Cummings, SSE at the Shrine office: 802-928-3362.
