Our Lady of America's Plea To Spread Her Message

In 1956, Our Lady of America asked for the children of America to lead the world by the purity of their lives. This past Palm Sunday, Pope Benedict XVI echoed this plea when he asked that the youth of the world choose purity in their lives. The time is now. We need to commit ourselves to this ideal and do that which is necessary to implement these changes.

A message was given in 2001 atop Holy Family Hill to "Bring me my children. Bring me all of my children." The owners have taken this message to heart and have worked to prepare the facility for use by children and families looking to visit and explore their spiritual lives. Many business opportunities have been passed up due to the negative impact they may have had on what they felt was going to be the eventual "highest and best" use of this property.

OLTIV feels that "highest and best" use is to serve as a destination for faithful pilgrims seeking a closer relationship with Our Lord, Jesus Christ.

OLTIV has a vision for this property that will position it as the world's most unique site dedicated to the special devotion of The Holy Family according to the request of Our Lady of America. OLTIV desires to host families and individuals looking to grow in their understanding of Our Lady of America's requests to follow the path of Her Son. Opportunities to educate children and parents of the examples set forth by The Holy Family will be facilitated by innovatively utilizing the complex's many extraordinary features.

With its numerous private rooms and dormitory-style lodging and dining rooms, this facility is well-equipped to host a large number of families and individuals for overnite or extended stays. Its large complex of high-quality athletic fields are ready for use by youth groups looking to combine friendly competition with spiritual development and education. The expansive lawns allow visitors to find the solace and serenity of a typical retreat center just a few steps from the front door. Two chapels are available for accomodating services for 20 to 450 people at a time.

The vision for the future calls for creating larger outdoor paved gathering areas and a remodeled outdoor landscape to be more conducive for people in wheelchairs to enjoy the grounds and take the waters that cascade down the hillside. We envision incorporating a natural outdoor ampitheatre area into plans for music performances, Holy Masses, and special presentations during larger events...all of which will be available through internet access by the rest of the world.

We do not know exactly what the future holds, but we know we must preserve and keep this place to do the work for which it has been ordained. Countless numbers of people have already been gloriously changed, physically and spiritually, through their experiences at this special place Our Lady chose to first announce Herself as Our Lady of America. It is here to fulfill a role which Our Lady knew would, one day, be necessary to act as a refuge for Her children..."all of my children".

Our Lady had said that special graces would be bestowed upon all who worked to fulfill Her request of being enshrined in the National Shrine to The Immaculate Conception and promoting Her message of Our Lady of America throughout the land.

Please join us in working to promote Her wishes through the work of this very special place. We need your help to do this work. This work will result in the bestowing of special graces upon all those involved and in the saving of countless souls while bringing American families to a stronger commitment to Our Lord, Jesus Christ.
