MEMORIAL SHRINES AND SITES
The Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception at the National Shrine of the Divine Mercy in Stockbridge, MA, have a Shrine of the Holy Innocents where you can memorialize a child. You can create a lasting memorial for a child on a glass wall tile (either 3 by 5″ for $200 or 6 by 5″ for $400), on a candle rack ($100), or in the Book of the Holy Innocents ($25). The construction of the new shrine will be completed by 2010; however, memorials are being created now. Call 800-671-2020 or visit memorialsonedenhill.org.
The loved ones of the children memorialized are remembered daily at Holy Mass, in the Rosary for Life, and in the Perpetual Novena to the Divine Mercy at the National Shrine of the Divine Mercy as well as in special Masses on December 12 (the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe), on December 28 (the Feast of the Holy Innocents), and on the third Saturday in July.
The National Memorial for the Unborn in Chattanooga, TN, offers nameplates for deceased children ($35). Visit www.memorialfortheunborn.org. Although a lovely setting, this is not a Catholic site.
