New Cuban Shrine Plan Announced Plans for the erection in Miami of a permanent shrine honoring Our Lady of Charity of El Cobre, patro- ness of Cuba, were announced this week by Bishop Cole- man F. Carroll who said that the proposed edifice "may well become a national shrine" symbolic of the gratitude of the thousands of Cuban refugees welcomed by the Un- ited States. The shrine, which will be completely financed, designed by and developed by Cubans "as an indication of the depth of their faith and as a definite contribution to the community," will be located on land overlooking Biscayne Bay and made available by the Dioce?e of Miami. It will be constructed on 10 to 15 acres of ground, adja- cent to Vizcaya and in front of Immaculata-LaSalle Academy in Miami's southeast section. The shrine may serve as a meet- ing- place for 15 or 20,004) persons, Bishop Carroll said. Manolo Reyes, Spanish News Editor of WTVJ-CH. 4 and associate editor of the Spanish section of The Voice, heads a committee of Cuban laity who have volunteered to direct the unique undertaking. Bishop Carroll disclosed that requests for such a shrine had come to his attention several times and stated that the erection of the shrine ivill provide "an opportunity for Cuban people to express in a very concrete way their gratitude and thanksgiving for the power of the intercession of the Mother BISCAYNE BAY site of the proposed shrine of Mary Emmanuel, S.S.J., administrator, Mercy Hos- of God" in aiding them in their flight from communism to the Our Lady of Charity of El Cobre is located in front pital, Mother Louis Edwin, S.S.J., Mother General freedom and welcome they found in the United States. of Immaculata-LaSalle Academy adjoining Vizca- of the Sisters of St. Joseph of St. Augustine; Mano- "The shrine will also serve to remind them of their obliga- ya.
