We are very blessed to have the Basilica of Our Lady of San Juan del Valle – National Shrine in our diocese. This very important Marian Shrine continues to serve pilgrims from the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Pilgrims are served primarily by offering opportunities for prayer through the liturgies of the church and also through the many devotions prayed daily. Clearly, the emphasis at the shrine is prayer.

In the celebration of the Eucharistic liturgy and the Liturgy of the Hours every day, pilgrims join the universal church in giving thanks and praise. On Sundays and solemnities the Holy Mass and the Liturgy of the Hours are celebrated solemnly.
