Bishop Binzer to Celebrate Prayer for Priests at Shrine

MARIA STEIN, Ohio (January 21, 2019) – On Sunday, February 17th, the Maria Stein Shrine of the Holy Relics will host a special night of prayer for our Priests, celebrated by Bishop Joseph Binzer. The evening will begin at 7pm in the Adoration Chapel with Sung Evening Prayer and exposition of Blessed Sacrament. Vigil will be kept in the Chapel for the success of the meetings Pope Francis will have in Rome later that week with the heads of the various National Councils of Bishops.

“This prayer service was developed as a way to support the good priests working in our lives and in our parish communities. It will be a time where the faithful can come together and pray for their strength as well as find healing and hope.” stated Matt Hess, Director of Ministry & Hospitality for the Shrine.

The event is free and open to the public. We also encourage members of the clergy to come and pray with the community. For more information about the service, contact Matt Hess at 419-925-4532, email m.hess@mariasteinshrine.org or visit the Tours & Events section of our website.
