Our Mission
We welcome you to come to the Marian Shrine to reflect, recharge and refresh your spirit and body, and to experience our ‘piece of Heaven on earth’. The Marian Shrine offers 160 acres of picturesque Holy Ground dedicated to Mary under the title, Help of Christians, St. John Bosco’s patroness and inspiration. The Shrine welcomes pilgrims and visitors to our grounds to pray at the inspirational devotion areas and Our Lady of the Rosary Park with a 48’ tall bronze statue of Mary and life size Mysteries of the Rosary. We offer Masses, Confession and a variety of religious services in our Mary Help of Christians Shrine Chapel, retreats and special events in our Don Bosco Retreat Center, seasonal pilgrimages with our spacious outdoor Altar and pavilion picnic area, as well as youth and young adult outreach in our St. Dominic Savio Youth Center.
