Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament

Alabama has a manificent story tied to the Catholic faith. Just over an hour from Huntsville in Hanceville, Alabama near Cullman, you can witness a magnificent shrine with an unusual story. The Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament of Our Lady of the Angels Monastery is in the middle of "nowhere." How the shrine came to be is an amazing story in itself. One acquaintance mentioned to her friend that she'd been to Europe and seen the shrines there and then said, "You don't need to go to Europe. This shrine is more magnificent than anything there." Mother Angelica (left) whose vision built this shrine is also the person who started the Catholic television network.
