To the right of the Shrine Altar, through the glass door
is our Votive Light room, where tens of thousands of lights burn today. These lights
represent the intentions from people across the United States and the world
sent to the Shrine. Our Vincentian community here and throughout the province
offers prayers and works for these intentions.
Since this is no longer a parish church, Baptisms are no longer held within
the building. Therefore, the baptistery was moved to this room to
commemorate the more than 10,000 Baptisms that were celebrated here as a
parish church.
