Destination:  A little off the beaten path — south of I-80 — is one of the newest shrines in Ohio, dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Our Lady of Grace Parish developed and maintains the shrine.
Masses at the parish are at 4 p.m.. Saturday; 8 and 11 a.m. Sunday; and 8 a.m. Monday through Friday.
Why to go: The Marian Society suggested the shrine in the 1990s. Building began in 1997 on a structure intended to resemble a stable with a view of rolling Ohio hills.The statue of Mary with the adult Jesus at the center  of the shrine is made from one log.
Stations of the cross, which can be lit at night, line a sloping, uphill walk to the shrine itself. Landscaping around each station and small gardens in the grassy area surrounding the shrine are tended by people who are acknowledged on small signs.
Special events: At 7 p.m. Thursdays, the parish prays a rosary for peace.
(Grand) Kid friendly: It’s a great spot for a break in a drive to say some prayers, take a walk and have a picnic lunch ... with or without the grandkids.
Accessibility: The shrine and stations are all wheelchair accessible.
