This shrine was built in the early 1960s and has many interesting features. The three arms that go up to the steeple represent the letter "M" for Mary. There is a teardrop that comes down from the spire that represents the Holy Spirit. Under this shrine are two chapels and large mosaics of the stations of the cross.
