I can't help but look at the impressive outdoor shrines people have of the Sacred Heart of Jesus or of Our Lady of the Rosary. I saw one house that had a Sacred Heart statue with arms extended in an embrace in the front yard but facing the living room window of the house. Every time this family looks out their window they are reminded of the love of Jesus for them. We have three concrete outdoor statues here at the monastery. St. Joseph and Our Lady is near the front walk in an attitude of prayer greeting visitors as they come up our walk.
Many nurseries have concrete statues for sale.
Concrete or fiberglass statues hold up best outside. So I encourage you to set up a shrine on your property. Joseph-Craig of the Sorrowful Mother of Jesus Blessed Junipero Serra Blessed Junipero Serra's feast day is celebrated as an optional memorial on July 1. In those days many entered religious life at an early age. At age sixteen Junipero entered the Franciscan Order.
