THE OUTDOOR SHRINE

The outdoor shrine is made of faceted glass with symbols embedded. The statue of St. Dymphna, made of carrara marble, stands in the center against the brightly colored glass. Beneath the statue are candles that burn 365 days a years. The candles are lighted in petition and thanksgiving. Each candle burns for six to seven days and the recommended offering is $3.00.

The outdoor shrine building was built in the late 1950s and was recently renovated.

 

THE CHAPEL

The beautiful chapel in honor of St. Dymphna was dedicated on May 15, 1938. This was the first shrine dedicated in her honor in the United States.

The beautiful chapel, nestled on the grounds of the Heartland Behavioral Healthcare Center, is designed with beautifully detailed stained glass windows depicting the Miracles of Our Lord among the infirm. There are various statues of St. Dymphna as well as a lovely jeweled reliquary that encases an actual bone chip of St. Dymphna.
