The small chapel of Monte Cassino is located on a hill near the Saint Meinrad Archabbey. Surrounded by trees and panoramic views of the Anderson Valley, the shrine dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary is a testament to the age-old tradition of seeking God. Besides personal pilgrimages to the shrine, public pilgrimages are held each Sunday during May and October. In addition, a Benedictine monk of Saint Meinrad Archabbey presides at Mass in the chapel each Saturday (7 a.m. from May to October; 8 a.m. from November to April). During May and October, Mass is also held on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7 a.m. To visit the shrine, follow Indiana 62 east from Saint Meinrad Archabbey for about a mile. Watch for the sign on the left that marks the entrance to the shrine.
