Shrine of Our Lady of the Island
Manorville, NY
Seventy hilltop acres off Eastport Manor Road where a massive statue of Mary rises over the pines, with garden walks, the Rock of Our Lady sanctuary, and an Avenue of the Saints threading through the woods. You don't have to be Catholic to find the quiet here worth the drive; it's one of the most peaceful open spaces in central Suffolk.
LOCAL TIP
Daily 11:30am Mass except Mondays, and the gift shop and restrooms close mid-afternoon on weekdays, so come before 3pm if you want the full grounds plus facilities.
