Restoration of Our Lady's Statue
The restoration process on the much beloved and cherished landmark statue of Our Blessed Mother is underway and we need your help!
We encountered a large setback this year when we began the process to regild this beautiful statue and found that the interior structural steel supports were corroded. This critical repair, requiring significant and costly refurbishment, has already begun and will continue for many more months.
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.

Treasures of The Church: Vatican exhibit of Sacred Relics
Saturday, February 19, 2022
1:30 p.m. - 2:30 p.m.- Talk by Father Carlos Martins
2:30 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. The Walk with the Saints: A time of veneration with the relics
The National Shrine Grotto presents a teaching and exposition of an extraordinary Vatican collection of Sacred Relics.
Over 150 relics will be present, some as old as 2,000 years. Among the treasures will be relics of the Twelves Apostles, St. Joseph, St. Maria Goretti, St. Therese of Lisieux (the “Little Flower”), St. Francis of Assisi, St. Anthony of Padua, St. Thomas Aquinas, and St. Faustina Kowalska. There will also be a portion of the Veil of Our Lady and one of the largest remaining pieces of the True Cross in the world.
Those in attendance will be able to examine and venerate each relic. Throughout history, many healings have occurred in the presence of relics, and many have happened through this ministry. Do not miss this opportunity. You are encouraged to bring your articles of devotion (such as rosaries, holy cards, etc.) and pictures of ill friends/family members, which you will be able to touch to the reliquaries as a means of intercession. The exposition is directed by the renowned expert on Saints and their relics, Father Carlos Martins. See www.TreasuresOfTheChurch.com for more information.
Please register below to attend this special teaching and exposition. There is no cost to attend, but we may need to limit the number of people.
