In a recent article, the Rhode Island Catholic (diocesan newspaper for the Diocese of Providence) reminds us that Catholic shrines have a role in spreading the Gospel message by giving visitors a special opportunity to encounter our Lord.
As a local example, the article refers to the Shrine of the Little Flower in Nasonville, a village in Burrillville RI. (On a personal note, the article refers to Sister Grace Coffey [who operates the shrine’s museum and small gift shop]. For many of the years I taught at Saint Patrick School in Providence, Sister Grace was the religion teacher for Grades K-8.)
