NY trip - Shrine of Christ's Passion

 

We went to this beautiful Shrine of Christ's Passion
in St. Joseph, Indiana
We arrived a little early but this is the gift shop.
HUGE!!




Each "stop" along the way has a button to press for a beautiful reflection.

This statue of the Blessed Mother is huge!





You don't need to wait for the gift shop to open before walking around the shrine, just go behind the building.
