Breathtaking! I have never been on more beautiful grounds. I lit a candle, walked the meditation trail and had an amazing spiritual peaceful morning there. It’s a must! Don’t miss it…

- Andy, Visitor

I am not Catholic, but I love walking around, seeing the view, feeling serene and filled with Gods love and lighting a candle for those I love who are no longer with me. You will leave feeling renewed and filled with joy.

- Susan, Visitor

The walk along the outdoor path is amazing no matter what faith you practice. The small chapel is lovely, and the Shrine itself spectacular. I love to come and bring the little ones so they can learn some sense of reverence.

The Shrine Church

Devotional Areas

Areas for expressing our devotion to or love for God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

This area is just incredible, a lot of people don’t really know about the bluff country along the Mississippi. All beauty of any kind turns our hearts and minds slowly towards God, to the final beauty which is the beatific vision, in seeing God face to face.
