The Maria Stein Shrine of the Holy Relics is home to one of the largest, documented Holy Relic Collections in the United States and the epicenter of the historical Land of the Cross-Tipped Churches!
The Shrine houses 1,200 relics of the Saints and the True Cross. Additionally, it provides faith nourishment and spiritual renewal through opportunities for prayer, pilgrimage, and inspiration from the lives of the saints. People from around the world visit the shrine to explore and enjoy this environment rich in holiness and history.
There is a gift shop and several places to pray. We will have our lunch off campus, a short drive away. The cost of lunch is on the pilgrim. When we return to the campus there will be ample time to go back and spend more time looking at relics, praying in the chapel or just walking the outdoor sacred spaces.
St. Simon will provide bottled water and light refreshments for the trip out and back. There may even be a game or two…perhaps even with prizes.
