Help us build a Shrine to Our Lady of Compassion!

In honor of the 20^th anniversary of Heart’s Home, we wish to promote devotion to the universal figure of compassion that inspired us throughout these years.

To that purpose, we have decided to build, at the International Center for a Culture of Compassion, a shrine dedicated to Our Lady of Compassion.

Celebrated on September 15^th, Our Lady of Compassion stands close to 9/11, making this devotion particularly meaningful in our country.

To build this shrine, we rely on your generous support!

The shrine

To be built in August at the top of the International Center for a Culture of Compassion (ICCC), near Woodbourne, NY, the shrine will be an approximately 12’ x 8’ x 11’ wooden construction. It will shelter a limestone sculpture of the Pietà by artist Paul Crochat.

The overall cost of the shrine amounts to $55,000.
