Shrine announces retirement of president
Rosenbeck
MARIA STEIN – The Maria Stein Shrine of the Holy Relics has announced President Don Rosenbeck will be retiring in June 2022.
Rosenbeck began his tenure at the Shrine in 2003, first serving as business manager for the institution that was owned and operated by the Sisters of the Precious Blood. He was named president in 2010 and oversaw the Shrine’s transition to a 501(c)3 not-for-profit corporation in 2017. The organization is now governed by a Board of Directors and continues to provide ministries as a diocesan Shrine under the auspices of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.
The Sisters of the Precious Blood arrived at the Shrine property in 1846 where it was the first permanent Motherhouse of the Sisters in the United States. Growth of the Congregation and other opportunities; such as acquisition of the extensive holy relic collection, opening of a gift shop, and promoting pilgrimages; helped the Maria Stein Shrine grow into the internationally known entity it is today.
