Welcome to the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception! Affectionately known as "America's Catholic Church" and "Mary's Shrine," the Basilica is the largest Catholic Church in North America, dedicated to the patroness of our nation.
We hope you can also visit us in person in Washington, D.C. A pilgrimage to the Basilica is a great way to share in the history, artwork, beauty, and peacefulness of Mary’s Shrine. For more information, visit our website below.
