Our Story:
St. Anthony's parish is the site of the shrine to Mary in Rama. Although the church was built in 1922, the outdoor shrine was not begun until the eve of World War II. It was under the influence of Rev. Anthony Sylla, a Polish-born Oblate that the shrine was originated, both in thought and in construction. The Polish and Ukrainian people of Rama and of Dobrowody districts gathered fieldstone after part of a hill was removed.
Stones were brought by the wagonload from the surrounding district to serve as the building material. ...more Story
