The National Shrine of St. Dymphna
National Shrine of St. Dymphna Home Page

 

National Shrine of St. Dymphna (pronounced Dimf-nah) is located on the grounds of the Heartland Behavioral Healthcare (formerly Massillon State Hospital) and was the first Church in America dedicated in her honor. She is the patroness of those afflicted with mental and nervous disorders. Although many have never heard of St. Dymphna, she is becoming increasingly popular during these days of worry, fear and tension. Then, too, there are few people in the world who are not at some time or another troubled with their nerves.

We have Mass here at the Shrine. Call for our Mass and Novena schedule 330-833-8478.

I hope you will make the novenas along with us, and promote devotion to St. Dymphna among your friends. You can especially promote this devotion by calling your friends and neighbors attention to the devotion in honor of St. Dymphna.



THE LEAGUE OF ST. DYMPHNA comprises members who invoke her intercession that they will be preserved from mental and nervous disorders, or soon recover if now afflicted. The membership in the League is $2.00 per year, less than 4 cents a week, and you will share in our most continuous novenas, plus the benefits listed on the application. (click here) Most members are enrolled and make the novenas with us for a relative or friend who is having a real struggle climbing the hill of recovery. We receive a number of letters expressing gratitude for favors received. Many recoveries can be attributed to St. Dymphna's intercession. There are some, however, who must continue to carry the heavy burden of mental suffering and we should not overlook the merit they gain for all eternity.
