Know Before You Go
The church is a functioning church and thus respectful behavior is expected, however, audio tours are sometimes broadcast into the church when requested. There are nearly 6,000 relics on display from skulls to teeth to bloody cloth and even a piece supposedly from the crown of thorns and cross used in Jesus' crucifixion. The church had an add on with anatomically correct, nearly life-sized stations of the cross as well as beautiful stained glass windows. Across the street is a gift shop, and above the gift shop is a museum with some of the remaining crutches/canes, home service kits for last rites and healing work, personal belongings of Father Mollinger and even some of his original medicines.
There is no cost to visit the museum or church, but a $10 donation is requested per person to visit and a $3 donation is requested if you'd like to light a candle in the church.
