(RNS) — The Roman Catholic Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Des Plaines, Illinois, regarded as the most visited monument of its kind in the United States, is asking for donations after its outdoor chapel was set on fire early Tuesday (May 23). Several statues, art pieces and the outdoor Chapel of the Resurrected Christ, also known as the 'Altar of Miracles,' sustained damage estimated to total more than $78,000, officials said. The Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe has raised more than $9,000 since launching a GoFundMe on Wednesday.
