The generosity of donors helps us carry out the projects of the shrine:
• Spread the message Saints Louis and Zélie Martin and Saint Thérèse
• To welcome a growing number of pilgrims
• Organise about ten events per year at the service of couples, families, people with diverse life realities, and to make them accessible even to the most modest incomes.
