Shrine of Our Lady of La Salette

The shrine is located on a hill overlooking Lake Mascoma.
Early settlers to the area called this patch of heaven "Chosen Vale". Mascoma's blue waters mirror the birch, pine, and maple that populate the surrounding hills and mountains and give this valley a unique beauty the year 'round.
Besides the chapel, pilgrims may meditate at the facsimile of the Apparition, the Rosary Walk, the Peace Walk, Mary's Garden, or anywhere on the Shrine's thirth acre property.

Web: Mary Keane Chapel
Note: This church was decommissioned.
Across the street from the shrine is the Mary Keane Chapel that is now part of the Shaker Museum.
A Shaker community was founded there in 1793. It flourished and at is peak it was home to three "Families". The village did not do well in the 20th century and was sold to the Missionaries of Our Lady of La Salette in 1927. They established a seminary and high school. In 1985 the community, including the church was sold to a group of private investors.
The church was built by the Missionaries in 1930. It was designed by Donat R. Baribault of Springfield, Massachusetts and has beautiful altars and stained glass windows.
The church is now decommissioned but it is open to the public and well worth a visit.
