Visiting the Shrine
Our Lady of Woodstock is located in Woodstock, NY on Plochmann Lane, less than two miles from the center of the village.
The statue was installed in the woods on June 16, 2018 to commemorate the first apparition, which occured in a nearby home.
The shine is visible from the road and always accessible. All are invited to visit Our Lady, to bring their prayers to Her, and to ask Her for mirales of all kinds.
This particular area in the Catskills was long considered sacred to the indigenous peoples. Neolithic burial cairns are located on the mountain less than a mile from the shrine. Ancient stone walls that run past the shrine lead to rock formations that, it has been suggested, mirror on the land the constellation Draco in the sky above.
Prayers and Miracles
Many people already credit Our Lady of Woodstock with miracles. She has brought babies to the childless, lovers to the lonely, healing to the sick, and joy to the sorrowful.
Traditionally, when people bring a petition to Our Lady, they also leave some memento of their prayer with Her. This is why visitors will see rosaries hanging from the branches of a nearby tree, crystal hearts and red threads placed on Her hands, and milagros of all kinds at Her feet.
Pilgrims usually make two visits to a sacred shrine–the first in petition and the second, when a prayer is answered, in thanksgiving. If you experience a miracle that you credit to Our Lady of Woodstock, please be sure to let Clark and Perdita know so that they can add it to Our Lady’s Book of Miracles (continually updated on this website.)
Novena to Our Lady of Woodstock
For the nine days leading up to June 16th a full rosary is said each night at the shrine. Anyone who would like to participate in the Novena can learn more about it on this site.
On June 16th of every year a special celebration is held. All are invited to attend and to bring Our Lady offerings of song and art, plantings, sculptures, performaces, food, and of course roses of all kinds and whatever else feels right to celebrate Her! It’s a big event and a lot of fun and please do get invovled and join us!
