Our Lady of the Woods Shrine Restoration

Our Lady of the Woods Shrine Restoration Our Lady of the Woods Shrine was completed and dedicated on 9/4/1955. The Our Lady of the Woods Shrine was constructed between 1953 and 1955.

The Shrine is on the last phase of a major restoration project and we hope to have everything finished in 2026. Community members worked together to build and fund this breathtaking structure. The Shrine is a peaceful and beautiful place to stop for many tourists passing through Mio. Over the years, the weather has deteriorated the limestone structure. Work towards restoring and maintaining the Sh

rine is ongoing as donations make each step of progress possible. It is a costly project to save and restore this beautiful Shrine, and we are thankful for everyone who has given to our project thus far.
