The Tepeyac Hill
The Tepeyac Hill at the Blessed Stanley Rother Shrine is a re-creation of the site in Mexico City where Mary is said to have appeared to Saint Juan Diego in 1531, asking him to tell the local bishop to build a church. The Tepeyac Hill was dedicated on December 11, 2022, during the first Mass celebrated on the Blessed Stanley Rother Shrine site.
