The National Shrine of Mary, Mother of the Church

We are a national Catholic Shrine dedicated to Mary and motherhood.

The mission of the Mothers' Shrine is to promote a true appreciation of motherhood, the preciousness of life, the integrity of the family, and an understanding of the Church community that gives Mary the title of Mother. The Mothers' Shrine provides faith-filled and joyful outdoor Eucharistic celebrations, pilgrimages and retreats, a serene and beautiful space for prayer and reflection, and celebrations throughout the year in honor of Mary and motherhood.
