In Honor of Today's Marian Feast of the Immaculate Conception
A PROJECT OF
R J MISSION PROJECTS
(Ron and Jim)
Several years ago, my friend Jim Patterson II and I partnered to support several charitable projects: from helping international seminarians get through seminary, to building a "teaching kitchen" at Saint Meinrad Seminary to teach young priests to cook for themselves, to many projects in the Caribbean Missions (including sending island youth to World Youth Day in Poland, the renovation of the Pastoral Centre, the renovation of a couple of churches and vehicles for the Bishop and the Orphanage), to now helping get the St. Theresa Family Life Center established.
One of our proudest achievements was the restoration of the Marian Shrine of Monte Cassino at Saint Meinrad Archabbey. (in honor of his mother) and a new Prayer Garden next to it (in honor of my mother). This little video explains it all. Copy and paste in search box, if necessary.

If you have never seen this place, think about making a pilgrimage to Saint Meinrad to visit the Monte Cassino Shrine in person. Maybe you have a special "prayer intention" you would like to take with you.
