Shrine Chapel: Our Lady of Orchard Lake

A unique chapel lies at the heart of Orchard Lake Schools. Referred to as Shrine Chapel of Our Lady of Orchard Lake, it will be celebrating its 50th anniversary next year. The main doors are rectangles of thick stained glass which, on a sunny day, form beautiful reflections on the floor.  The life sized carved statues behind the altar represent Christ and the apostles. The seating capacity is 750 people.
