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.
