Welcome to the Catholic National Shrine of Mary, Mother of the Church

Give a forever gift to a mother in your life

Have your loved one's name inscribed on our beloved Mothers’ Wall of Life! Every day we remember in prayer the more than 5,000 women from at least 44 states and six continents whose names have been engraved in the beautiful black granite walls.
New names will be engraved with a special unveiling ceremony on the first Sunday of May 2025.

All are welcome at the Mothers' Shrine

Whether you are able to come to our beautiful Shrine in Laurie, or join us online, you are always welcomed at the Mothers' Shrine.

Masses are celebrated in the fall, winter and spring at St. Patrick Church, next door to us, on Saturdays at 4:30 p.m. and Sundays at 8:30 a.m.

Our Blessed Mother's heart is open and she is eager to bring each of us to her Son, Jesus.

 

 

Do you or a loved one need prayer?

You’re not alone, we all need prayers!

Please let us know how we can pray with you. Remember, God is with you and He delights when we lift our voices and give our worries over to Him. All prayer requests are placed in our chapel where they receive the benefits of individual prayers and prayers at Mass.

“I feel sometimes when we hold our emotions because we think God can’t handle it, we’re putting ourselves at a higher level than God. He wants it all. Sometimes, it isn’t pretty and makes us vulnerable. But sometimes, it’s where he hears us the best.” Jennifer Hubbard says during the Oct. 1 luncheon.

“His love is greater than what we’re feeling”

“Sometimes, we forget that God is bigger than our emotions, and his love is greater than what we’re feeling, and he just wants us to be completely authentic and completely true.”
