| Although the Basilica of Our Lady of Sorrows is a magnificent place of pilgrimage, it was constructed by a larger and more prosperous community than exists today. Only the heroic efforts of its modest parish and the gifts of our benefactors can keep this beloved Shrine maintained and open for the generations to come. |
