What to expect

The Servants of Mary Center for Peace invites visitors to experience a profound spiritual journey dedicated to the teachings of Jesus Christ. Nestled on a serene 50-acre farm, this center is renowned for hosting the world’s largest statue of Our Lady of Guadalupe, an awe-inspiring 50-foot-tall figure adorned with over 450,000 mosaic tiles. The statue, a remarkable creation by Richard Hyslin from Mission, Texas, stands as a testament to faith, crafted with over 10,000 hours of dedication from Hyslin, his students, and numerous volunteers. Guests are welcome to explore the grounds, which feature the LAKE OF HOPE, flanked by the world’s largest illuminated fifteen-decade rosary. As night falls, the rosary beads create a breathtaking display against the Ohio night sky, offering a unique and tranquil atmosphere. Additionally, visitors can reflect in the HOLY INNOCENTS CHAPEL, which houses the Book of Life, honoring the names of children up to seven years of age who have passed away from abortion, miscarriage, or natural causes. The Servants of Mary Center for Peace emphasizes inclusivity, welcoming individuals from all denominations and backgrounds seeking spiritual enlightenment and a deeper understanding of faith, hope, and love.
