Dear Friends;

We invite you to be part of our Shrine Family. Through our celebration of Mass, the Sacrament of Reconciliation, our Retreats and Days of Recollection, we have always fostered family values. We reach out to those in need through our soup kitchen and our Healing Services. Our concerts and Christmas Festival of Lights have benefited so many over almost 60 years.

In addition, we recently set aside a significant portion of our property with the support of the Attleboro Land Trust in cooperation with Massachusetts Audubon Society as a permanent nature conservancy. This ensures that people will be able to enjoy this green nature refuge for many years to come.

Being part of any family or group also brings responsibilities and costs. It is no different for you and me being part of the La Salette Shrine Family. However Maintaining the Shrine grounds and Programs is quite costly. We ask you to respond generously to our 2011 La Salette Annual Appeal so that we can continue to serve you and all who benefit from the Shrine's presence and programs. Please support this labor of love so that you and many others may continue to be blessed by God as you visit our National Marian Shrine.

May God continue to bless you and your family.

Yours in Our Lady,
Fr. Ronald A. Beauchemin, M.S., Superior
