AUGUST – OCTOBER 2020

Recently our Facebook followers were invited to share pictures of their Outdoor or Indoor Shrines to Mary. If you would like to be a part of this, please send your pictures with a short explanation of why you have the shrine to khagerty@stguerinparish.org for inclusion in future bulletins, Facebook, or the website. Thanks!

From Suzanne McNally – Suzanne McNally shares a picture of a shrine to Our Lady of Lourdes which can be found in the garden by St. Cyprian school. She says that this public shrine serves as a symbol of Catholic identity to all those who enjoy the tranquil garden. Gerry Marzullo donated the statues after a trip to Lourdes. Thank you, Suzanne!

From Maureen Detty – Here is Maureen Detty’s Mary, St. Francis and an angel. She says her neighbor likes to look out her window at the statues when she says her morning prayers!

From Mary Morvay – Mary Morvay’s front porch. Mary is always there, winter and summer, to bless every guest that comes.

From Irma Rivera – Irma Rivera’s beautiful shrine to Our Lady of Guadalupe in her home:

From Marie Morgan – This is my shrine to Mother Mary:

From Fr. Paul Cao – This is the shrine that my parents have in front of their house:

Silvia Hagerty and her sons, Patrick and Max planted a garden in memory of their dad around a statue of Our Lady of Guadalupe that he had set up. On the first anniversary of his death they sent notes to him attached to helium balloons with lights inside them that were supposed to keep the balloons lit up for a couple hours.One of the balloons popped and the light landed on the statue of Our Lady and remained lit for six weeks.

From CK Keating – Our Lady of Grace is tucked into some pretty flowers in our garden. I love looking at her in early evening when the garden lights start to come on. Her foot is on the serpent symbolizing her purity, her lack of original sin and she stands upon a globe of earth with her loving arms outstretched to us. My great grandmother, on my Father’s side, came from Poland in 1896 at the age of 14, landing at Ellis Island. A Polish priest helped her find housing and a job for her. She would sit me on her lap as a small child and tell me stories of her journey and life!! How important it was to have a strong faith in God. And to believe in the Blessed Mother, to pray devotedly to her. My Babcia lived to be 96! I think of her every day and carry her in my heart. I follow her advice and pray to Mary for peace and love to come into all of our hearts and lives.

Maria Malo – It’s a relaxing and peaceful time when I water the plants:
