Restoration of Our Lady's Statue
We are excited to announce that our Blessed Mother has returned to her mountaintop home where she shines more brilliantly than ever before! Unfortunately, we are still short of raising the necessary funds to pay for the costly repairs to her interior structural supports. We hope that through the generosity of donors like you, we can raise the remaining funds!
We humbly ask you to keep the National Shrine Grotto in mind as you make your charitable donations.
When you give to this fund, you help with the additional unforeseen repair costs of this critical restoration of our Blessed Mother's statue and are a part of this historical effort.
