Eighty-six names added to the Mothers’ Wall of Life
On May 4, 2025, Father John Schmitz, rector of the Mothers’ Shrine, along with gathered pilgrims, celebrated Mass in the beautiful sunshine. The sculpture of Mary was adorned with a crown of flowers before the liturgy.
Following the the liturgy, Father Schmitz unveiled and blessed the 86 names newly engraved on the Mothers’ Wall of Life. These 86 women have been added to the daily prayer intentions at the Mothers’ Shrine and their legacy of love will be forever stated on the polished black marble that lines the pool below the sculpture of Mary.
