A place of prayer. A place of healing. A place of miracles. A place where faith comes alive.

In 1973, the Little Rose Chapel Shrine was built in Taylor Michigan by Sister Ancil, following a profound healing that she attributed to the intercession of Secular Franciscan Mystic, Rose Ferron Marie “La Petite Rose – Little Rose” (1902–1936).

Little Rose is remembered as the first stigmatized person in the United States. During her Friday experiences of the Passion of Christ, witnesses reported seeing her bear the Sacred Stigmata and experiencing extraordinary manifestations of her devotion to Christ (more on Rose here).

After suffering for years with severe physical disability, Sister Ancil visited Little Rose and experienced what she described as a brilliant healing. She was able to stand and walk again. In gratitude, she fulfilled her promise to God and Little Rose by creating this sacred place of prayer and devotion.

Since 1973, the Little Rose Chapel Shrine has welcomed people seeking prayer, healing, peace, and spiritual renewal. Visitors have reported extraordinary experiences within and around the chapel; including unexplained lights, unusual appearances in statues and photographs, the fragrance of roses, and other signs they have interpreted as reminders of Christ’s presence and Little Rose’s intercession.

Whether you come seeking a miracle, carrying a burden, giving thanks, or simply looking for a quiet place to pray, you are welcome here.

Come with faith. Come with hope. Come and pray.
