Saint Marianne Cope Shrine & Museum

Saint Marianne Cope Shrine & Museum is a museum in Syracuse dedicated to the life of St. Marianne Cope, a Sister of St. Francis whose life work centered on caring for the sick. It is located at St. Joseph’s Hospital, where Mother Cope served as director for seven years.

The museum is one of only two in New York State devoted to saints. It is group-friendly, so church groups, school classes and history fans can visit together, and it offers a quiet look at a remarkable woman who later served patients in Hawaii.
