Our Lady Ta’ Pinu Shrine near Bacchus Marsh

If you’ve driven past Bacchus Marsh on the Western Freeway, you may have noticed the large crosses on the hill near the turnoff to the Old Western Highway.

These are part of the Our Lady of Ta’ Pinu Shrine, also known as The All Nation Marian Centre, a Catholic shrine dedicated to Our Lady of Ta’ Pinu, a Marian devotion that originated in the island of Gozo in Malta.

The shrine features a chapel along with a range of facilities for religious services, and serves as a place of worship and pilgrimage for the Catholic community.

Visitors are welcome, but are asked to respect the religious significance of the shrine.
