Our Lady of the Angels Province has two Shrine Ministries: Saint Kateri Tekakwitha National Shrine and Historic Site (Fonda, NY) and The Shrine of St. Anthony (Ellicott City, MD). The Saint Kateri Tekakwitha National Shrine and Historic Site promotes healing, encourages environmental stewardship, and facilitates peace for all people by offering the natural, cultural, and spiritual resources at this sacred site. It is also the site on which St. Kateri lived from 166-1677 and the place where she was Baptized. The Shrine of St. Anthony has been home to many friars and has served as a student residence, a house of philosophy, and a novitiate. The historic property includes prayer paths, a Grotto of Lourdes, an outdoor Stations of the Cross, as well as the Carrollton Hall Historic Site – Manor House.

On Saturday, November 19, 2022, Saint Kateri Tekakwitha National Shrine and Historic Site sponsored an Advent Wreath Making Workshop.
