As a parish family, through the power of the Holy Spirit, we will work to build God's Kingdom by creating opportunities for our parishioners, our community and our visitors, to encounter Jesus in a life-changing way, to set their hearts on fire with His love and to challenge them to become fully engaged disciples.
In 2012 while celebrating the 125th anniversary of both the Shrine and annual novena, a statue entitled "Generations" was dedicated. This bronze cast sculpture is a moving depiction of the Holy Family embraced by Saints Anne and Joachim, the parents of the Blessed Virgin and grandparents of Jesus. Surrounding this statue are bricks dedicated to loved ones, both living and deceased, encompassing all the generations of our lives.
Space still remains for the addition of these memorial bricks. More information is available in the Gift Shop or by calling the Parish Office at 508 347-7338.
