The Shrine of St Joseph

Solace, strength and hope is what I take from here…

This is a little hard to find and I love it that way. Located in the hills of Stirling, NJ it’s a beautiful little quaint church (Shrine) that is just so relaxing to look out. It sits on top of a hill that overlooks the hills/​trees of the area. It’s beautiful landscape is a great way to get away from hectic everyday life. Once inside, you feel at home. It’s small with limited seating but doesn’t get too packed. Everyone is friendly and their mass is brief yet poignant. While the priest is speaking, behind him are windows that you get a glimpse of the landscape and outdoor patio. The view is tranquil. Once the mass is over I suggest taking a walk around the grounds. You have some time to think without being interrupted, take in the fresh air and become closer with God. =)
