The Outdoor Pieta Chapel was built in 1968 to accommodate the increasing number of pilgrims, especially from the Catholic ethnic communities of Toledo, Cleveland, Columbus, Youngstown, Detroit, Pittsburgh and Windsor, Ontario.  Outdoor Masses are held in the beautiful Outdoor Pieta Chapel on Saurdays & Sundays from May through September.

The Sorrowful Mother Shrine Chapel is the heart of the Shrine today. It features paintings of the Seven Sorrows of Mary and a newly refurbished statue of the Sorrowful Mother holding the Body of her Son. The stained glass windows portray Mary's role in the life of the Church as expressed in the Litany of the Blessed Virgin and Sorrowful Mother: Mary, cause of our joy; Mary, help of Christians; Mary, most powerful; Mary, comforter of the afflicted. Other windows depict scenes of Christ's life.
Mass is celebrated in the chapel daily throughout the year.

During the Pilgrim Season, beginning on Divine Mercy Sunday through the last Sunday of October, at 2:30 PM each Sunday we have Rosary, Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament, Blessing of Religious Articles and Blessing with the Relic of the True Cross and its veneration by those present individually.

The Shrine cafeteria is available any day of the week for groups of 15 or more. For reservations call 419-483-3435, ext. 101.

At the present time, the Sorrowful Mother Shrine has no overnight accommodations for overnight retreats. We are able to give a Day of Reflection, a Day of Recollection.

History of the Shrine

In 1892, Pope Leo XIII sent a first class relic of Saint Ann to the famous Shrine of Saint Ann de Beaupré in Canada. On the way to Canada, the bearer of this precious relic stopped in New York City at the then little church of Saint Jean Baptiste.  The relic was exposed in the church, and miraculously the sick and afflicted were cured, the blind saw, the lame walked, souls came back to God!
For three weeks, crowds thronged to Saint Jean Baptiste Church from every part of the country. On the day of the departure for the Shrine of Saint Ann in Beaupré, Canada, the relic was carried through the crowded church amid cries of: “Good-bye Good Saint Ann! Come back soon!”
Moved by such devotion, the bearer of the relic arrived at Beaupré and requested a portion of the wonder-working relic be returned to Saint Jean’s in New York.  As a result, the relic was divided and a portion of it was returned to the church in New York. The first annual Novena (nine days of prayer leading up to the Feast of Saint Ann on July 26th) began July 17, 1892 and has continued every year in the United States.
In 1900, Archbishop Corrigan of New York invited the Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament in Montreal to administer a parish in New York City. Saint Jean Baptiste Church became a center of Eucharistic devotion for the whole country, and the first community of the Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament in the United States.
A portion of the relic of Saint Ann came to rest at Saint Ann’s Shrine in Cleveland, Ohio when the provincial headquarters of the Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament was relocated.  There is a link between Saint Ann and the Congregation since the Congregation in the United States is named the “Province of Saint Ann”.
The first Triduum (three days of prayer leading up to the Feast of Saint Ann on July 26th) in honor of Saint Ann was held July 24-26, 1987 in Cleveland, Ohio at Saint Paschal Baylon Church.  It has become a yearly event since that time.  An annual nine-day Novena is held at Saint Jean Baptiste Church in New York City (Manhattan) every year from July 18-26.
Having the shrine at the provincial headquarters of the Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament allows more people to visit the shrine and participate in the age-old devotion to Good Saint Ann. The Shrine is open for Mass, private prayer, veneration of the relic, and recitation of the rosary weekdays 9 am – 5 pm (excluding holidays)
