The Shrines

Our Lady of the Highway Shrine

The statue of Our Lady of the Highway, carved from Carrara marble, was a gift to the Shrine in 1957 from Mr. and Mrs. Leo Kuhlman from Kentucky. It was originally placed in the center of the front yard near the highway, but was later moved to the lower grounds of the Shrine. She has been the patroness of millions of travelers and pilgrims who visit the Cross In The Woods.

Prayer To Our Lady Of The Highway

O Lady of the Highway, be with us on our journey, for all your ways are beautiful and all your paths are peace. O God, who with unspeakable providence does rule and govern the world, grant unto us, your servants, through the intercessions of our watchful mother, to be protected from all danger and brought safely to the end of our journey. Amen.
