Text Box: The Shrine for the Unborn at Mount Saint Alphonsus, known as The Shrine of the Holy Innocents, will become one of the largest shrines dedicated to babies unborn and babies born too soon. The concept for the Shrine began in September 2008, when the Shrine’s project manager suffered the loss of a baby that was in the womb for 14 weeks. Since then, men and women have come forward that have shared their story 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. 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:

Plans include:

4000+ Memorial Bricks

Bell Towers

Statuary

Columbarium

Central Fountain

Landscaping Plantings

Resting Benches

Walkways
