The Marian Shrine is a place to relax, reflect and pray. It is an apostolate of the Salesians of St. John 'Don' Bosco, and reflects the saint's love of Mary, Help of Christians, traditional Roman Catholic devotions, love of the Sacraments and desire to bring young people to Christ utilizing recreation.
An up-to-date, air conditioned retreat center with fifty private rooms (capacity of 100 guests) is attached to a large dining room area. Four meeting rooms and two relaxation/reflection rooms are available to guests. The grounds also feature a bookstore, a chapel, and a worship center. The center has an elevator and is wheelchair accessible.
Retreats are offered for high school classes, priests/deacons/religious, laity involved in apostolate, married couples, and singles. In addition to retreats, days of recollection, workshops and religious education training sessions are ongoing.
