st. anne's shrine印象

It's about the history and the location. We biked over from North Hero -- makes a nice day trip with a scoot around the island. They've got real bathrooms there, too -- great for a pit stop.
-
location on Lake Champlain. easy drive from our B & B. Peaceful and prayerful too. if you are in that area well worth the drive.
-
I wasn't impressed by St. Anne's Shrine. It's basically a statue and a pavilion near the lake. There's much more exciting things to do on the islands, you're not missing much if you decide to skip this one.
-
The shrine itself is sort of matter of fact. The location with its view of the lake is nice, Nice small beach to walk. For me the sense of history is special The statue of Samuel Champlain ties the site to colonial times, the French and Indian Wars and the war of 1812.

I am not able to really review the shrine, but the accommodations for a day trip bicycle rider are very good. I would like to go back and enjoy the spiritual aspect of the Shrine soon.

St. Anne's Shrine sits on the beautiful Lake Champlain. It is a quiet, peaceful experience with a main chapel and smaller chapel that are covered, several other areas where one can sit and reflect as well as stations of the cross-if your are into that. Bonus is the history of Samuel de Champlain who was the French explorer that named the Lake in 1609. There is also a cafe and gift shop at the location.

the shrine was very serene and peaceful.....the statue of Samuel de Champlain lies in the middle of the park and the view of the lake is very beautiful. we ate at the picnic area which is near the lake.

I make a pilgrimmage to St. Anne's Shrine in Isle la Motte, Vermont at least twice a year. I pray to St. Anne and ask her for certain favours especially for the health of my feet. So far so good. I thank God that I have the gift of faith. Just an added note: The cafeteria makes the best tuna sandwiches ever!

A friend (who's a local Vermont resident) insisted on bringing us to this shrine. Thought a 'shrine' meant big, glitzy and touristy. Well, there were certainly visitors from out of town when we were there (it was the Canada Day long weekend so lots of cross-border Quebecers in town), but big and glitzy it wasn't.The main shrine (housing the altar with the tabernacle) is housed in a wooden chapel which opens up to an open air hall of sorts (no walls but had a roof) where the congregation sits for mass. It was wonderful to see multi-generational island residents gathering for the celebration of the Eucharist (btw, the homily by the parish priest - a high-priced Manhattan accountant with a late vocation -- was also profound in its simplicity.)Across a narrow road from the shrine, sparkling Lake Champlain beckons. There are well-kept grounds where stations of the cross are set up with simple crosses anchored by rough hewn stones/boulders from the lake. A wonderful spot for quiet reflection .... and thanksgiving to the Creator who gives us such beauty in nature . This is what a shrine should be!

I didn't know what to expect after picking up a travel brochure at our inn. As others have mentioned in their review, the Shrine has beautiful grounds and I was surprised at the historical aspect which I also really enjoyed. In addition, the stations of the cross and the crucifix meant the most to my husband and I - all of which are down by the lake. The grounds are simply beautiful and peaceful - one of the highlights of our visit. We walked all around the grounds seeing only a few other people on a recent morning and an outdoor service (mass) had just begun which had a few people in attendance. We also walked along the beach which borders the property. Overall, the flowers, the Shrine, the statues, etc. are meticulously cared for and is open for all to enjoy or to partake in - depending on one's personal preference.
