Shrine about to open along I-80 in Nebraska

Posted: Friday, June 14, 2002

GRETNA, Neb. (AP) -- Interstate 80 travelers soon will be offered a spiritual rest stop between Omaha and Lincoln.

The Holy Family Shrine, a 48-foot glass Roman Catholic chapel open to people of all faiths, opens in a few weeks atop a hill overlooking the highway.

"This is a place to get away," said Omaha architect Jim Dennell, a parishioner at Omaha's Christ the King Church, who designed the $2.2 million chapel and worked with other Catholics for almost a decade to build it.
