Mount Carmel Shrine (Saskatchewan)

The land was donated to St. Peter's Abbey by John Bunko in 1921 and was dedicated in 1922 by the Abbot of St. Peter's. St. Mary under the title of Our Lady of Mount Carmel became the patroness and protectress of '''St. Peter's Colony''', an area of 50 townships where a large number of German speaking Catholics had settled. In 1928 a 14 feet high foundation was built by Antonio Molaro{{cite web ==Pilgrimage==

An annual pilgrimage has been held on the site since 1922. From 1922 to 1954 five to six thousand pilgrims were taking part each year with the exception of 1948 when an estimated 12,000 people attended during the Family Rosary Crusade.{{cite web ==References==
