Outdoor Shrine - Improvement Campaign 

The Saint John of the Cross Campus is a place of tranquility, a place of contemplation and a place of worship. All are welcome to pray and contemplate the words of Jesus “Who do you say that I am? (Matthew 16:15).  

The Divine presence of our Lord and Savior is abundant in natural landscapes and especially when we celebrate the Liturgy of the Eucharist at the 7:45 am Sunday Mass in the outdoor shrine at Saint John of the Cross. From Memorial Day to Labor Day.

If you have attended the 7:45 am Mass, you are aware that the rising sun from the east shines brightly and warmly on the altar and the center benches facing the altar.  As beautiful as the rising sun is, it can also be blinding to the people sitting in the center of the shrine, and on a morning that is extremely hot, some form of shade would be welcomed.

The remedy to this scenario is an installation of a shade sail protecting the center section of benches. Our goal is to raise $15,000 to pay for the installation of the shade sail.

Donations received during We Give Catholic 2022 will help pay for the purchase and installation of the shade sail. Please consider donating on Tuesday, November 29, 2022
