Holy Protection Shrine – for Life and Culture

Holy Protection Shrine – for Life and Culture

Some exciting news - a new initiative led by Fr. Jason Charron for a national pilgrimage destination in which the sacredness of life is celebrated. This will be a heavenly appeal-in-stone to the LORD and His Holy Mother's intercession for the protection of life in our culture. It will be a national shrine built in sacred Byzantine style as a prayerful convergence of Eastern and Western Christian traditions. We intend to build a 1000-year church of timeless beauty for generations to come as a holy site of pilgrimage and renewal for a culture of life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqeVMR0ba50 Holy Protection Shrine website
