MARIA STEIN The Maria Stein Shrine of the Holy Relics announced June 1 that President, Don Rosenbeck, will be retiring in June 2022.
Mr. Rosenbeck began his tenure at the Shrine in 2003, first serving as business manager for the institution that was owned and operated by the Sisters of the Precious Blood. He was named president in 2010 and oversaw the Shrine’s transition to a 501(c)3 not-for-profit corporation in 2017. The organization is now governed by a Board of Directors and continues to provide ministries as a diocesan Shrine under the auspices of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.

The Archdiocese of Cincinnati will mark its bicentennial with a walking Marian pilgrimage, helping the faithful prepare for the re-consecration to Jesus through Mary.
On June 19, 2021, the Archdiocese of Cincinnati will celebrate the 200th anniversary of its founding with a Solemn Mass of Thanksgiving offered by Archbishop Dennis Schnurr. At the Mass, Schnurr will re-consecrate the archdiocese.
As a spiritual preparation for the re-consecration, the diocese thought of a walking Marian pilgrimage.
“Traditionally the preparation for a consecration to Jesus through Mary takes 33 days,” said a statement from Jennifer Schack, the director of media relations for the archdiocese. “The 33-day pilgrimage is our way of bringing the archdiocese together to participate in the 33-day preparation.”
