Mother of Mercy Outdoor Shrine

 

In 2007, construction began on a new outdoor worship area to accommodate the growing number of pilgrims visiting Eden Hill.

The Mother of Mercy Outdoor Shrine honors our Blessed Mother as the vessel through which Christ, The Divine Mercy, took human form. It reminds us to prayerfully reach out to Jesus through the intercession of His Mother Mary. This Shrine also provides a sheltered, respectful setting for the celebration of the Eucharist on Divine Mercy Sunday, ethnic pilgrimage days, and other special events whose crowds exceed the capacity of the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy.

You may have a name permanently etched in the “Rays of Mercy” stained-glass window located on the wings of the shrine or engraved in the granite or marble friezes that line the wall of the Mother of Mercy Outdoor Shrine.

On the facade of the Mother of Mercy Outdoor Shrine, the large stained-glass windows provide an exceptional memorial opportunity. Only a few of these windows exist.

Spiritual Benefits: You and those you honor will be remembered twice daily at the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy — in Holy Mass and during the Hour of Great Mercy — including in a Holy Mass on the Feasts of Our Mother of Mercy, Aug. 5* and Nov. 16.**

 *Official Feast of the Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy (rf. Diary, 266).
**Official Feast Day of the Mother of Mercy Province (Congregation of the Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception)
