SUPPORT YOUR DIOCESAN SHRINE & APOSTOLATES!
Friends of the Shrine
St. Mary's of the Assumption parish was named a Shrine on August 15, 2021, the feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. We are a Diocesan Shrine, established for all parishioners of the Syracuse Diocese and beyond. This is the first of its kind here in our Diocese! It is to a place of grace, conversion, peace and solace. We hope many souls experience the peace of this shrine.
St. Mary’s Shrine of the Assumption is known for its beauty; 13th century English Gothic Architecture, accompanying Grasaille stained glass windows which are arguably the pinnacle feature, the Cologne, Germany wooden sculptures and woodwork, the polychrome ceiling, the field stone outer walls, gargoyles and much more. So it is beautiful and special. It is also a shrine where as canon law says ‘an abundance of graces are given’.
We have three major apostolates here at our shrine:
We hope in the next year to identify 'Friends of St. Mary's' who would like to financially support our important mission here! There really isn't a better use of your money in the Church right now - scapular apostolate! This truly saves souls! We are looking for 10 Friends of St. Mary's. Would you consider?
Annual - St. Mary’s Friends of the Shrine - 5 to 10k annually.
1K Annual - St. Mary’s St Threresa of Little Flower
The benefits of being Friends of the Shrine:
Annual Mass, reception and dinner with Bishop Lucia at Shrine.
Know that your investment and generosity to the Lord works to:
Promote shrine to our parishes and schools.
Provide a retreat house where priests can stay and find rest and spiritual restoration for free!
Promotes the devotion to the Brown Scapular. We have the first fully automated Scapular Making Machine in the world here at Our Shrine. It makes 1 scapular per second!!!
We are working to send scapulars to the world and we might be known as the Scapular Shrine. In this work, remember you are helping put this scapular around souls for a very affordable price (We charge 50 cents and we pay for postage). This allows schools and others to buy in bulk. Most scapulars online are very expensive five to ten dollars each!!!
The promises of the Scapular make this investment very good before the Lord and Our Lady we humbly believe!!
