Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament, Catholic shrine in Hanceville, United States.
The Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament is a Catholic church in Hanceville built with traditional stone and marble architecture. The building contains multiple chapels and altars designed for Eucharistic adoration and worship.
The shrine was established in 1999 by Mother Angelica, who also founded the EWTN television network. The complex was created to serve as a dedicated place for Eucharistic prayer and contemplation.
The Poor Clare Sisters perform daily religious ceremonies that visitors can observe and join for prayer. The chapel serves as a working place of worship where the rhythm of monastic life unfolds throughout each day.
The site is open daily with parking available and wheelchair access to the main building. Visitors should dress appropriately for a sacred space and expect quiet, reflective conditions inside.
The monastery grounds include landscaped gardens where visitors can walk and reflect while exploring the surroundings. These outdoor spaces offer a contrast to the interior chapel experience and provide room for personal contemplation.
