Mother Angelica's Residence (Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament)

Mother Angelica is an American Franciscan nun best known as a television personality and the founder of the Eternal Word Television Network.

In 1996, Angelica began groundbreaking on a new monastery in Hanceville, Alabama, called the Shrine of The Most Blessed Sacrament. It was built with private donations. The nuns moved to the shrine in 1999. The friars remained in Irondale. When the shrine was completed in 1999, the daily Mass was telecast from there. In 2000, the daily Mass telecast originated from Irondale. EWTN airs several Benediction services from that monastery.
