National Shrine of Our Lady of Martyrs

The church offers a wonderful gift shop and beautiful grounds, providing a lovely setting for visitors.

Many find it a very spiritual and holy place, perfect for prayer and meditation.

The coliseum church-in-the-round is described as an incredible, unique structure, especially recommended for Mass.

Visitors appreciate the palpable and visceral experience of being on the ground where Saints lived and were martyred.

Despite being near the NYS thruway, the atmosphere is peaceful, with only the sounds of the breeze, birds, and a sense of the Holy Spirit.
