On September 19, 1846, Mary, the Mother of God, appeared to two shepherd children on the slope of a mountain in the French Alps, near the village of LaSalette. The “Beautiful Lady,” as they called her, was seated on a stone, her elbows resting on her knees, her face buried in her hands, weeping bitterly. She rose, calming the children’s fear by her reassuring look and maternal voice. She told them the cause of her tears: disobedience to the laws of God and of the Church, blasphemy, failure to keep the Lord’s Day and lack of prayer.
Founded in 1951, LaSalette Shrine, near Lake Mascoma, is a place of prayer and meditation in a unique, natural setting of peace and beauty. Our Shrine is located on a parcel of Shaker Village, founded in 1782. The Shrine provides a quiet, peaceful atmosphere where visitors get in touch with the message of Mary’s Apparition to the children. Through our programs, individual and group pilgrimages, and special prayer services, visitors take time away from the world’s anxieties, and after their shrine visit is over, return home refreshed and with new meaning to their lives. Although there is no charge for visiting the Shrine, freewill contributions maintain its programs and facilities.

Our Facilities:

Our Lady’s Chapel: The heart of any Shrine are the Eucharistic celebrations offered in community. Large crowds gather on Sundays and on Feast Days to participate in these and other liturgical services. It is located directly behind the Gift Shop.
Last Supper Chapel: This worship space located facing the Cafeteria is used for many of our prayer and worship programs.
Spirituality Center: Spiritual companioning, days of prayer, and other programs for individuals and groups are services provided through the Center. The guest house currently has accommodations, including kitchen, for up to 8 people. Individuals, families, or small groups are welcome to use these facilities for private retreats, meetings, and relaxation.
The Cafeteria: located next to the Gift Shop, is open daily. The Café houses a cafeteria, kitchen, meeting areas and restrooms. Picnic facilities are plentiful for families and groups of all types who come to spend a day in prayer and peace.
A Pavilion is located on the hill and is used as a place of prayer services and relaxation.
