The Saint John Paul II National Shrine is a place of pilgrimage, learning, and prayer. It was designated as a National Shrine by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops in 2014. Visitors are welcome to attend daily Mass in the Redemptor Hominis Church, and to pray in the Luminous Mysteries Chapel, which contains a first-class blood relic of Saint John Paul II. Both sacred spaces are adorned with intricately beautiful mosaics that glorify and praise God. Our permanent exhibit, "A Gift of Love: The Life of Saint John Paul II," lets visitors to walk in the footsteps of John Paul II by tracing his life and legacy. More information can be found on our website.
