a pilgrimage to the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament

That was in May 2, 2009 - in the occasion of the priesthood ordination of Bro Bede Marcy of St Bernard Abbey in Cullman, Alabama - when I had a great chance to tour the world-famous Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament of Our Lady of the Angels Monastery.
The Shrine rests amongsts the rolling hills of Hanceville, Alabama. In the Shrine, the Poor Clare Nuns of Perpetual Adoration keep constant prayer vigil before the Blessed Sacrament.
They welcome anybody who seeks spiritual renewal to come and join them in their prayers. Since taking photos inside the Shrine and inside the giftshop are restricted, I had to content myself of the Shrine's facade and its huge patio.
