  • The St. Joseph Preservation Fund

    • Many years ago, the Sisters of the Precious Blood asked St. Joseph to intercede for their financial needs to complete the construction of the Relic and Adoration Chapels. The St. Joseph Statue, shown left, was installed by the Sisters in thanksgiving for the finished chapels.

      Today, we are asking St. Joseph to intercede for the need to raise funds to preserve this historical and holy place, where so many pilgrims and guests come for spiritual nourishment and historical religious education.

      For many years, a generous bequest from the Tasiemski family (restricted to building upkeep and maintenance expenses) has provided the funds needed to preserve the architectural integrity of the historic building and grounds. Having provided for these needs for over ten years, these funds are now dwindling. As we consider the building upkeep expenses needed each year and the extra expenses that will soon be pertinent, such as replacing the original convent and chapel roofing, we are looking to St. Joseph the Worker to intercede for the success of the St. Joseph Preservation Fund.

      The income from the St. Joseph Preservation Fund will be used specifically for major building upkeep and preservation expenses of the Shrine such as roofing, brick repair, and pavement resurfacing. The goal for this maintenance fund is $1,250,000. Fortunately, some reserves are available to start the St. Joseph Preservation Fund. 

    • How is this Fund Different from the Legacy Fund?

      The Legacy Fund was established when the Sisters of the Precious Blood entrusted their “precious treasure,” to the Maria Stein Shrine of the Holy Relics, an independent not-for-profit corporation. Its sole purpose is to provide operational funds to ensure the longevity of their mission and dedicated custodianship of over 1,200 holy relics. Thanks to many generous donors that goal was met! Your gifts are handled by faith filled stewards and experienced financial advisors who work together to ensure sustainability.

    • Unique Challenges

      Maintaining a historical structure that is nearly 130 years old does generate unique challenges. In anticipation of these immediate and future needs, we are introducing The St. Joseph Preservation Fund. Just as the Sisters had petitioned St. Joseph to provide the resources necessary to build the Shrine, we too call upon him to intercede on behalf of the support needed for on-going care and preservation.
