I still feel sorrow

For my five week old

Daughter who died.

The Shrine for the Unborn at Mount Saint Alphonsus, known as The Shrine of the Holy Innocents, began in September 2008.  Since then, women and men have come forward and have shared their stories and joined in making this sacred ground even more so, as it has become a place where we can all remember our babies in heaven.

 

The Shrine has begun its next phase by beginning to form its Board of Directors.  We are pleased to welcome His Excellency, Bishop Dominick Lagonegro, Emily and Phil Sinagra, Jean and Len Miller, Kathy and Frank Ambrose, Breda McMahon, Bob Cranston and Attilio Contini to our Board of Directors.

 

This shrine helps us remember our babies forever.  One mother recently purchased a memorial brick in honor of her baby.  She shed tears of joy as she remember the baby that she lost more than 50 years ago.  She felt comforted, knowing that her baby has been given the dignity that she has wanted to give for decades.

 

Here are the architectural plans for the Shrine of the Holy Innocents, and the adjoining Memorial Gardens:

Text Box: This Shrine has already brought healing, and has helped moms and dads that have lost their babies know that they are not alone. Whether their baby was just a few days in the womb, or was born full term, we share with them the healing message that their baby is now in God’s care, and we shall all be reunited again some day. Below are some of the recent postings on this website from moms, dads and loved ones that have lost babies. If you would like to add your own free message, please click the appropriate button below. There are additional opportunities available to you—you can also purchase a memorial brick that will be engraved and placed at our Shrine. The Shrine will consist of more than 4000 memorial bricks, all placed on sacred ground. Watching over our shrine will be statuary, including a large statue of St. Gerard Majella. St. Majella is the patron saint of mothers and the unborn. He lived in the 1700’s, dying at twenty nine years of age.
