Since 2018, a series of shrines dedicated to Mary, mother of persecuted Christians, have been established in the United States and Europe to raise awareness among Westerners of the plight of threatened Christian communities around the world.
The Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in La Crosse is set in the picturesque hills of western rural Wisconsin along the Mississippi River.
The shrines of Our Lady of Fatima in Portugal, the National Shrine of Our Lady of Czestochowa in Poland, the Knock Shrine in Ireland, the Basilica of Our Lady of the Angels in Costa Rica, Our Lady of Fourvière in France, and many other Marian shrines have confirmed their participation.
Basilica of the National Shrine of Mary, Queen of the Universe features many stained-glass windows and side chapels, including one devoted to Our Lady of Guadalupe.
Known as the ‘Lourdes of Germany,’ the Marian shrine is not just a symbol of the region’s Catholic past, but is also at the heart of its renewal.
That’s how Pope St. John Paul II described Asia’s biggest Marian shrine, dedicated to Our Lady of Health, which remains distinct in many ways.
In December 2022, with the reopening of the shrine to pilgrims, a historic figure of 12.5 million visitors was reached.
Marian church has long drawn souls closer to Christ and Our Lady.
As divine answers to prayers and cures followed, the shrine now has the nickname of ‘Wisconsin’s Lourdes.’
