A
simple but beautiful, outdoor Shrine honoring Our Lady of Angels!
A
five foot statue of Our Blessed Mother, surrounded by four angels. (All of white, fine Italian marble.) Benches where people can
sit and pray. Plants and shrubs beautifying the Shrine area.
The primary purpose of Our Lady of Angels
Association is to promote and spread devotion to Our Blessed Mother
under her title of Our Lady of Angels.
This was our purpose for erecting this Shrine on the
Campus of Niagara University. The
Shrine is a place where our members and benefactors can come and pray.
It is a visible witness to the students, staff and faculty at the
University of Our Blessed Mother's presence on Campus.
The dedication and blessing of our new, outdoor
Shrine took place on Thursday, August 26, 1999. Most Rev. Henry
J. Mansell, D.D. the Bishop of Buffalo, celebrated the Mass and
delivered the homily. From the chapel, we processed to the
Shrine where Bishop Mansell prayed the blessing.
About twenty-three priests were present for the
celebration. Over three hundred of our members attended.
All who attended were very happy with the Shrine. They found it
to be a beautiful tribute in honor of Our Lady of Angels.
We also maintain an indoor shrine where
individuals have votive lights lit for their intentions.
