Thank you, Mercer County Civic Foundation, for the grant awarded to Maria Stein Shrine of the Holy Relics! The money will be used toward a new roof to protect this precious historical treasure that was the original Mother House of the Sisters of the Precious Blood. Shown below are Diana Russell, Shrine Director of Fund Development; Carol Hone, MCCF Executive Director; and Don Rosenbeck, Shrine President.
The 130 year-old Shrine is a place of peace, prayer, and hospitality and offers spiritual nourishment to the many pilgrims and visitors who come and experience this holy place.
