The shrine and its garden area is a place for quiet prayer rest, and meditation. Erected in 1998 by the Knights of Columbus, the Rev. Thomas J. Wopperer, the Rev. Robert G. Beiter and the Rev. Gerald P. Sheehan (now deceased) and a community of interested businessmen, churches and individuals, the shrine remains a reminder to all of the many lost babies due to abortion. The service each year encourages all to consider the proper choice of life from birth to natural death
