Shrine of Divine Mercy
The Cross Of Christ At The Shrine of Divine Mercy:
Visit the Cross of Christ and Our Lady of Guadalupe Chapel at the Shrine of Divine Mercy in Mossyrock, Washington. A path goes to the top of the hill with permanent Stations of the Cross along the way. On special occasions Holy Mass is held at the foot of the cross to celebrate "The Triumph of the Cross" with The Sister Missionaries of the Fatima Rosary, who are stationed in Centralia, Washington.

A "Hill of Crosses"
(planned or under development)
Establish at the "Cross of Christ," the "Shrine of Divine Mercy," "Our Lady of Guadalupe Chapel" in Mossyrock, a "Hill of Crosses" similar to the one at Siauliai, Lithuania. Select another hill nearby the "Cross of Christ" and place 12 modestly large crosses on it, arranged around a central shrine niche holding a statue of Our Lady of Guadalupe and an icon of Saint Michael the Archangel. This special hill area need then be dedicated as a "memorial shrine" to the lives of those babies of the Pacific Northwest, Washington, Oregon, and western Idaho, who have been lost through abortion, and in grave recognition of the national holocaust of 40,000,000+ babies lives, destroyed in the United States. Then, as with the "Hill of Crosses" in Lithuania, invite all persons wanting to do so, to bring a cross and place it in this memorial site.
This memorial should also be dedicated to those babies lost who would have been the Region's religious, the priests, sisters, brothers, deacons, bishops, who are so gravely and greatly missed in this day of need for Church vocations. These souls of our young martyred should be consecrated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and entrusted to the heavenly care of Our Lady of Guadalupe (of the Hill of Tepeyac), Intercessor of the Unborn, and of Saint Michael the Archangel (of San Bernabe, Capula).
The Mossyrock "Hill of Crosses" will become a destination point for thousands of persons per year who come to visit and give honor to these our martyred, and who come to place their cross in this special area of rememberance. It will become that place for remembrance of these tiny babies who are now, along with our Saints, in God's Paradise gazing lovingly upon the Face of The Lord Our God. These babies who were sacrificed on "the altar to freedom of personal choice" will become the catalyst that brings forth the future Catholic-Christian Pacific Northwest, a Land guided through a divinely moral people.

Our Lady of Perpetual Help Shrine
St. George Byzantine Catholic Church
9730 Yelm Highway
Olympia, WA 98513
Tel: 360-413-5651 

The icon of Our Lady of Perpetual Help is perhaps the oldest actual icon of the Blessed Virgin. According to tradition, St. Luke painted an icon of Our Lady while she was still living in Jerusalem. When she saw the beautiful icon of herself holding the Child Jesus in her arms, she blessed both the artist and his work proclaiming, "My grace will accompany this icon."
The shrine is behind St. George Byzantine Catholic Church
"The church is in full communion with the Roman Pontiff, Pope Benedict XVI, and invites all Catholics to come to share the Light of the East! Visitors to weekend or daily Divine Liturgies (Masses), services, and devotions are always welcome."
There are annual pilgrimages to the shrine.
